Thanks FE
Well I have already been planning in advance for the next grow. My digital PPM meter should be arriving next week, it's been 6 weeks since I ordered one from hong kong, the world's favorite supplier of all our disposable goods.
I might use only RO water in the next grow... looking for resources. It would be cheaper to buy it then to get a filter. $0.38 per 6 liters
Tap water blows... I know it is holding me back in hydro
I am going to finish my slice of humble pie and finish this grow no matter what.
I stopped plucking damaged leaves and just let her go. I don't know what the necrotic spots that are showing up mean. They are not cal or mag related.
Tomorrow is flush day and time for a new nutrient mix for the reservoir.
She has been growing new roots.
Growth up top continues

EDIT
Just saw a system near me called Blue Tide RO for $600
Yup... I might just buy the water for the next grow considering I would only be spending %5 the investment cost of a nice RO unit
That's bullshit because on Amazon they sell them for $200
I might look at ordering one from china then.
Cost on the water yes it going to be cheaper in the immediate future to buy the RO water but for me lugging all that water would be a hassle. Think of that as part of your decision.
That being said my town water is from a clean source and they hardly treat it. ppm 45. ph 9.0 pretty much every time. My formula actually the lucas drops it damn close right away. I'm Lucky as shit there. I've never had to really think it over ;/
My novice advice depending when you need the next water. Wait for that high quality chinese imported instrument to come and you may find your water isn't as bad as you think. Possibly letting it stand longer too. Just novice advice.
Your grow looks great so you have gotten much more consistent on things it seems and she has gotten much healthier to show. When you get your ppm gauge and if you have or get a ph one as well if you are willing to put in the effort can really dial it in.
Once again great grow Vlad!
