yes, i'm filtering my water, i've got the RO 100 with the KDF85 filter but I notice that when I add things like superthrive, molasses, great white, it lowers the ph to about 5.5/6. Anything below 6.0 i usually like to use some ph up.

If airstones enrich water with more o2 then doesn't that kill the benefial bacteria?

Oxygen helps the bene's thrive. RO is kinda overdoing it for organics, if you find it to be causing probs, you might try 80% RO, 20% tap water. Might fix your PH problems too. After all my nutes are mixed in, I know my pH runs real low, but in organics, you rely on the benes to help balance pH. If you arerrally worried about it, you could top dress with more lime.

I have AN nutes and the ones I have the ingrediants do appear to be organic. After purchasing them at $400 and using them I must say that the growth is faster. However the price does not justify it besides it is much more owrk than dirt.

I read the ingredients and say to my self DRAT I could make a tea that does the same thing. I had to try it and now that I have I know I can do the same thing using my normal ingrediants like guanos, WC, Seaweed, Epson Salts, Alfalfa ect.

For instance the Overdrive Potassium Nitrate, Magnesium Phosphate, Monopotassium Phosphate, Magnesium Nitrate, Ascorbic Acid, Folic Acid, Fulvic Acid

Which is basically Epson Salts, P Guano, Worm Castings, and some compost.

I bought the Nutes once and will save the bottles so I can refer to the ingrediants but will never pay the price again.

Bud candy is just unsulfered mollases. So I feel kinda like a fool not doing more research before buying the products but I wanted to try hydro.
