TtHE EXPEREMENT

This RO System delivers approximately 3 gallons of pure, clean water per hour.
  • Elements and the Percent Membranes will remove: Arsenic (93%-96%), Aluminum (86%-90%), Bicarbonate (90%), Cyanide (93%), Chloride (85%-92%), Calcium (94%-98%), Sodium (86.5%-93%), Sulfate (96%-98%), Potassium (84%-95%), Barium (95%-98%), Iron (94%-98%), Nitrate (60%-76%), Mercury (94%-98%), Zink (95%-98%), Selenium (94%-96%), Lead (95%-98%), Phosphate (94%), Magnesium (98%), Fluoride (82%-92%), Nickel (96%), Cadmium (96%), Detergent (97%), Herbicides (97%), Insectecides (97%), Strontium (96%).
 
starting with TDS rich water is like painting a picture on a smeared canvas, the cleaner the canvas the better for optimizing mineral availability
 
House And Garden recommends that you stabilize RO water to 180ppm, how do you do this? My tap water is about 180ppm at 7.5pH but I have seen it at 8.9 pH.
 
No Title

Day 46! Hot outside today 113! At canopy level the temp. is 71 degrees Temp. at roots is 65 degrees RH high today at 35%

Let me ponder the no pounder. Do you think your root temp. might be a bit low? I have read that too cool temps on roots can stunt growth. Nebula says:
"Many growers aim for their reservoir water to be between 60-68°F because cooler reservoir temps prevent some bad organisms from growing in the first place, and cool water can hold more dissolved oxygen in the 60-70°F range. However, cannabis can grow and thrive in much warmer reservoir temperatures as long as beneficial organisms are present to fight root rot. In fact, I personally have found that hydroponic plants tend to grow a little slower when their roots are cool, and grow fastest around 75°F (as long as you're using a supplement with beneficial organisms to kill root rot).

Of course, at that temperature you don't have to worry about root rot at all.
