My water guy said 140 isn't bad considering my well is over 500. It is a 3 filter system and 2 out of 3 are new. It is about the same to get a new ro as it is to replace the older membrane. SO I am just holding off til I have to replace the whole system. I just buy water because I don't know about this swamp water where I live. heh

140 is great ! you will never have probs with that . My tap is over 600 too , so my filter works pretty hard too. I dont have a tds meter so i dont know what mine reads but its fairly new so i imagine its under 100. If your looking for a new ro filter then check out Purewaterclub . com .
They are by far the cheapest around.......so cheap that u might think ur gettin fucked. I got a 6 stage filter for like 97 bucks to my door, free shipping. That is so cheap i did some research before i bought it.......they come with the good usa made membrane. The only thing i can think of that is "cheap" is the plastic fittings that go into the housing, but i aint had no probs myself. i think all 6 replacement filters are like 30 bucks too.

I just got myself some worm castings to mix with my promix , so i am a lil excited now, i been tryin to get this organic shit right for a long time and i think its all coming together now :weed:.

I was looking into a new membrane last night. I may get a new membrane because I am lazy. My ro is hookedup under my sink in the kitchen and there is not much room in there for my giant head. heh Installing it may suck.

I have heard of bc organic nutes but have not seen them. do you have a link? FFOF is very organic , that is a very good dirt , its expensive but its good. I got some ff happy frog to try out until i get my own mix just right.

Changed up the res today. I couldn't get the pH right so I cleaned up the res and started from scratch. I am at 50% power and about 750 ppm. My leaves were burning up and im not sure if it was nutes or pH but it is so hard to keep it stable the past few days. I also ordered a digital pH meter because the drops I have suck. I forgot to get some pics but I will tomorrow or later tonight.

Distilled water since day 1 in the AG. RO water or spring water for soil.


I took some pics but the light was on. I will get some more with the lights off tonight or maybe wait for the next es change. As you can see she takes up half the tent now and huge. Lots of new growth on the wet rat and she is doing good. Being stunted slowed down her growth because she has buds forming already. Maybe she will get a growth spurt soon. And my 2 new additions Nirvana Northern Light. I germed a blue mystic too but no signs of anything yet. I started germing another blue mystic just in case heh. And out of 4 total plants started I hope to get at least 1 fem.
OK anough banter, here's some pics. pic 1: is the whole family pic 2: the babies pic 3-4: top view of the ag pic 5: budsa poppin pic 6: cola pic 7: wet rat top view pic 8: fat girl hogging the tent

enjoy

65% RA and rising. I am cleaning the room where my lab is to set up an air conditioner/dehumidifier along with an exhaust vent system out the same window. I know my neighbor will come over and ask what I am doing and if I need help. Aaaaahm yeah I am running a computer server and with the hotwater heater it gets hot in there. Believable? heh

OK I got some pics with the light off. pic1: my setup. I think I should spin the light to cover more area. I am waiting for the seedlings to get a little bigger. pic 2: fat rider err aaahhm short rider taking up half the tent. pic3 : the other half of the tent pic 4: stubby deformed short rider cactus plant. pic 5: 2 northern light seedlings. I had a little left over in my watering can from filling the ag so they got the left overs. heh pic 6-8: hmmmm Oh I know....some buds growing.
Finally #9 is a crooked panoramic of my utility room/grow area all cleaned out. I ran out of time and will do the venting and ac tomorrow.

Thanks Ho.

I checked the res today. pH was low again. I got suspicious when the water level didn't move overnight. She usually takes a pint over night but it was the same. So I changed her up. No pics though because the baby woke up in the middle of the change. I had to change the baby's res tooo. eeeeeew peepee. Buds are getting crystally and wet. I trimmed up some of the lower dead leaves because they were browning a bit. I live in a tropical area and that would invite lots of pests. I only took 1 runt branch off. It wasn't getting any light and was tiny and turning yellow and brown. I saved it because I may end up smoking it soon because my supply is running low. lol I will try n get a few pics later after lights out or maybe with lights on when the baby takes a nap.

Can anyone recommend a good vaporizer? $500 for a volcano is way too rich for my blood. The cheapos on ebay are looking attractive to my cheapness. But also may be crap. I would like to spend under $100 but will go higher if I really have to. Thanks and latah.

p.s. I have never vaped before so all advice is welcome. Thanks
