No, I looked into it, contacted some people, got pricing and BAM, I just can't afford it. I can use all the practices, but actual certification ain't a cheap date for me.

Yep. A lot of people don't realize this, but water is a solvent, and one of the strongest solvents around. Pure water? Best solvent, non-conductive.

I can only imagine how much the fees are and the little stickers you have to buy.....atleast you got their standards down now you can surpass them

Yeah, starting numbers were over two grand. Maybe I should start tryin' to sling to dispensaries, eh? :o

r/o water has no elements or ANYTHING left in it after the process of r/o is overwith, I wasn't adding those to the water and it literally stripped my whole environment in my soil to absolute shit with a quickness. just screwed the whole set-up horridly.

Rain water is pretty plain to and does damage also. I do not water until run off I think that's what saved me and I used top dressing then when I used RO only. I level it but bottom line what I'm trying to say is you can learn from every experience and I think your experience with the RO and soil is worth further attention peace I hope your having a great day

Rainwater is known to have a measurable amount of NO3. ;)

I'm sure state to state is different or is this fed regs. That go across the board. 2g's ain't too bad if it's a one time fee. A couple elbows will cover that. Thanks for shariMG though

This was specifically for an outfit certifying cannabis to CCOF standards, so for the state of California's standards.

I use a pre done organic coco mix now, and I've been using Nectar for the Gods nutrients. I run their whole advanced line, plus their Bloom Khaos.

There's more that I could/wish I could do, but with my bad back and limited space I'm happy to just buy the best consumer organic stuff I can.

Love the results I get from NFTG + coco mix, and I'm totally bug free. Never even gnats.

Nothing wrong with that I did well with bottled nutrients in the past. Thanks for dropping in I'm hoping this thread evolves into a continual evolving brainstorm of non synthetic approaches

The natural trichoderma (fungus) in coco repels pest and activates plant defenses, good food for that fungus is kelp
