Organic Plant Stimulant - BMO Super Plant Tonic

yes, ro water has diminished quantities of all trace minerals, that's why your tds meter should be reading from 2 to 10 ppm for your ro output.

yes, you need to replace these. i'm just getting into growing, so i'm the wrong one to ask as far which one's and how much, i'm sure someone will jump in and help out. i use ro for my fish tanks and i have to add stuff back, the good thing is that i control what goes back. i'm not going any deeper cause it's two totally different set-ups.

i just use the pre-filters for my plant water, which removes all chlorine/chloramine and most of the sediments and has a tds reading of around 100ppm or so. i'm fairly sure at 100ppm i should be leaving anything my plants need. i will going with BMO's full line for nutes, so that should take care of anything i did lose.


i know this did not answer your questions, but i'm sure someone can...................

Dang, rds, someone else here who knows! A quick tip, for breaking down chloramine, sodium thiosulfate is the active ingredient in dechlorinating products, and can be had in crystal form (which is HIGHLY concentrated) for a few dollars per pound. Get yourself a couple of pounds and you could be set for life.

Hey Seamaiden

what about replacing the trace elements that an ro/di filter removes. for herb.



with my ro/di , i get almost 0ppm w/di , and around 2-8ppm ro, thats in a big city w/chloramines


wow i just had an epiphany, my waste water from the ro should be chloramine free, so instead sending it down tha pipes, feed it to my plants

DaHHHHHH........................


i just use the ro/di for the fish, i prefer the pre-filters for drinking & other critters, the ro leaves it pretty much tasteless.

if you ain't green, then get green...................................................................................

Oh God, another fish geek! I am in heaven.

I have issues with RO/DI in the first place, and it mostly has to do with all the waste it creates. What I would do, honestly, is just add in a small bit of unfiltered water with the RO/DI output.
