Anyone know what caused this???

o i c now...so, you add the nutes to the big h20 drum? if thats correct, then you def only want the pH of your H20 to be around 6.0 to 6.5

pH up and pH down are both liquid pH buffers...

Just my $.02 tho, arent you going to be wasting alot of nutrients this way?

I appreciate your 2 cents more than you know.
I am not sure, how will i waste nutes..I understand they stay stable for up to a week. I have air stones in the water storage and planned on mixing nutes after every feeding..using about 25 gallons every time I water..every other day
I could put an in-line container for mixing nutes if I had to, but my plan is to eventually put an automated watering system in eventually.

Sorry wrong pic-this is the one I meant to attach- I actually added a shut off float after I took this picture, so the blue tube goes into the top side of the barrell now

There are only a couple leaves that looked like this..none as bad as this leaf..I haven't started nutes yet..temp is between 78-82..50% hum..water is R/O filtered..anyone know what's up with this leaf burn?

Are you using any additives to make up for what is lost with RO water? It looks like a calcium deficiency to me.

Heres something you should bookmark OP.

I picked some up off of ebay a couple of days ago. Its the cheapest price around that Ive seen offered.

ROFL yeah the reason that is a good price is because you bought a tiny 8 ounce bottle LOL. Here is a pic of a 8 ounce bottle next to a pack of cigs:

There is a link to where you could have gotten 32 ounces for $15. Clearly you didn't look around at all LOL nice job getting ripped off

Im glad you pointed that out. I somehow confused 8 oz=Qt, so It looked like a good deal at the time. Stupid me.
