hey guys,
quick question for you more experienced growers.
currently I am using R/O water filter system in my 20 gallon undercurrent RDWC system and using CaMg+ in the water before adding nutrients. My Ph level likes to drift from 5.5 to 6.8 (ish) and it's rather annoying at times
so my question is:
Question 1:
Would it be a good idea/ beneficial to use half R/O water and half tap water? I have relatively soft water in the area I am in.
(17—20 GPG which is around 290-345 PPM)
or should I just stick with using R/O water?
Question 2:
In a top off reservoir, do you just add water or do you add some nutrients to replace the ones the plants eat up? and do you PH the water in the top off or just PH the epicenter as you go?
I plan on flush and filling the system every 7-10 days if I can.
Question 3:
On a rdwc undercurrent system, do you guys run a drip system? and what do you recommend if so, a drip ring, or two drip stakes?
and do you put your dripper on a timer? or just let it drip all the time?
thanks for your help. much appreciated
