Hi everyone,
It's not my first hydro, but it's the first using Ro water.
I moved to an other "city" and tap here comes at 500ppm and ph at 9+ and even after let sit 48hrs, still smell chlorine or something like this..we don't drink it...
anyway, I invested in Ro machine; now water is at 15ppm (more or less)
started seed supercritical from GHS
Germinate the seed, and placed in a 5gal bucket
ph test kit drops yellow/orange, around 5.5/5.8 and steady (need to change the probe of the meter...)
it has been in the bucket for 2,5 weeks now, and very slow growth, ugly seedling ....
my temps are 72/74
and rez temp 62/64 (I let the pump outside the tent, maybe too cold??)
My light is a 300w GSL
I have reading no nutes until 2 weeks so it was at 130ppm ,I have drop it to 70ppm yesterday but it seems very low..there is roots popping out the 8" net pot lid nice and white..
I have others plants in soil that are water with bottled water and are doing awesome ....
First time I am facing such issues, and I am very disappointed....
guys, what do you think???
