    water filter/treatment recommendations?

    Hey brother lmk you find something other than a filter I think that's the only choice if you're stuck with American tap. I thought RO removes about 99% of "flouride". I'd guess the filters that leave beneficial minerals would be higher ph for drinking purposes. Removing industrial waste is...

    Soil test results for Happy Frog and Malibu Compost...

    Happy frog, freshly opened bag in October. I should have posted this a while back. I'm facing a learning curve here. What do yall think? Lots of sulfur right, maybe thats why the lower ph? Is ppm for only water soluble nutrients?

    How long until brand new living soil coots mix becomes alive?

    Yes that's what I have lol thanks for clarifying, just assumed it was the stuff everyone mentions, everyone just says Clonex. Same problem as Kleenex lol My hydro shop guy just happened to give me the root maximizer stuff(expired) with a purchase. I feel duped.

    How long until brand new living soil coots mix becomes alive?

    Wish people would riot over fungus. I think most fungis compete with each other which should normal for soil. From my experience trichoderma is the natural enemy for growing mushrooms, it's competitive. Idk which trich I'm always fighting with but trichoderma harzianum is in clonex, so I'd be...

    Bug identification, dominant soil creature

    Also, those videos are from a month ago, and taking off all my watered caked up DE and replacing with fresher compost/topdress seemed to reduce their numbers much more than the DE alone did, just based off of observation. This may sound weird but I think these things aren't affected by DE. Are...

    Bug identification, dominant soil creature

    In between those videos I did apply lots of diatomaceous earth you can kinda see it in the second video. These creatures while not showing up on initial application bounced back hard as fuck and they walk on that DE, almost more noticeably just because the color compared to soil. They're really...

    White mold on top of grow medium

    Looks like vermiculite, previously used to grow mushrooms. Do yall usually see that kinda fungi using clonex or mycorhizzal? Last i used coco coir an clonex, I pretty much always had that white mycelium looking stuff and it did actually smell mushroomy.

    Ph swings. Does root rot/bacteria prefer high or low ppm water?

    I ask because after dealing with ph dropping constantly and deciding to flush with straight RO water as an experiment, for the first time in about a month my res didn't drop 1.0-2.0ph and instead slightly raised maybe .2-.4ish. Any ideas as to wtf I got going on? Thinking was carbonic acid or...

    Soil test results for Happy Frog and Malibu Compost...

    Just got their mail in test kit, can't decide which soil to test first rn.. When you say it will show lockout, you mean by interpreting the bar graph or ppm shown in the results? Or they kinda give plain english for what's causing the lockout in your mix?

    Resoivoir acidic because high ppm?

    78F So you saying root rot likes it warmer? Somehow never heard much about chilling water couple years ago when started, just started doing hydro again, now it's a requirement?. Guess I can't knock it till I try, but seems like would be a pain in the ass tbh

    What Ph meter is everyone using, and what do you think of it?

    I'm on a budget and after 3 cheapos, feeling like HM digital came through for me regarding consistency. And I think the com-80 tds from them is even better. https://www.amazon.com/HM-Digital-Ph-80-Handheld-Temperature/dp/B00GOFXVB0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8...

    Why do people say ph doesnt matter

    I also see confusion revolving around the fact that soil ph and hydro ph are read/maintained differently and this thread speaks of both intermittently, just like every other thread I see, maybe because we all smoke too much idk.

    Resoivoir acidic because high ppm?

    I'm running flora trio with calimagic using microbloom every other. Haven't been going past 500ppm since I was thinking that that was negatively affecting the ph but now Ima start feeding her again.

    Resoivoir acidic because high ppm?

    Greetings hydroponic people. Wondering if or to what degree this phenomenon is true and why. Can't remember where but saw the advice that "burning" plant with high ppm would cause ph drop. In my case I'm dumb enough to come across that advice before ruling out the obvious root rot which I knew I...
