Can I ask how & what you're watering with(city tap, well, ect.)? I might need to figure out something new for myself.
 
Straight out of the tap city water. I add nutrients and PH to 5.7.
I'm going to be switching nutes soon. Will give details when i do....
Interesting. I've always been sketched out to use my towns tap water with the BS that's in it but I guess I'll give it a try.

Probably depends on where you live and the water quality. You can get a professional water quality test but for starters i check the PPM and PH level out of the tap before using it. Once you see that its in a safe range and doesn't fluctuate much you are good to go.
 
About the water... invest in an RO system if you can then adjust PPM and such accordingly for those asking about city water.. Where i am now you can't drink the water so RO is the only way to get a TDS of 002 and then add nutes etc accordingly.
 
Not sure I understand your question. These are in 5 gallon pots and i water with 2-3 gallons per plant every other day.

Hi Gruber,

Sorry i wasn't clear enough however your answer gave me some good info also.

On a side note what do you do for thrips? I always seem to be getting this problem. I know what to do for the gnats but dam them thrips are relentless..

I was refering to your res. How big is your res that your muxing the nutes in?

For Thrips use neem oil diluted with clean water and spray it on the top and mostly bottoms of leaves and stem areas, they get into all the tiny cracks so spray well but dont drench your girl :-)

I dont use a res. I'm hand watering and my plants are in promix. Never had thrips but Cookiekush seems to know what he is talking about.
