A/c Runnoff Water Ok For Dwc?

[LuccaDaddy]

Couldnt do tests....state isnt 100% ok yet

 

[LuccaDaddy]

But the ppm from a/c water is only 45....ph of about 5

So what you think....after I did full flush an fresh water/nutes should I let her go for a day or two to see if it progresses? Or add cal mag now? She sucked up lots of nutes since I flushed. Brought her to aroun 600 ppm and now shes at around 450ppm

Id add it now. U can foliar feed it if u wish.......

 

[LuccaDaddy]

Will do then

They don't test for these chemicals, there bad. It's like licking the radiator or eating asbestos which one would you prefer. Let's say you have a minute leak in your A/C you'll have R-22 or some other cooling oil leaking into the run off from your A/C. Very bad.

A/C water bad, units made in factorys. Oils chemicals on coils. Make sure you test your babies before you smoke. This is not good to do.

Made in factories huh? I luv it lol. So r the pumps we use. The piping we use. The pkts we use.

What do u think it gonna happen from usin water from ur ac?

 

[LuccaDaddy]

Also one more thing, the nute line of FF includes organics an microbes. They pubch the ph up to a stable 7.5.....I adjust it once a day but it doesnt seem to matter. With the microbrew it insists at being alittle high

Refrigerant evaporates pal

Ur good. Some.of the most state of the art indoor gardens in the world use water collected by dehumidifiers and ac's.

I wud like to see one documented case where a plant was contaminated from being watered w ac water. Its distilled water. It dont get much more pure

 

[LuccaDaddy]

Well tommorow I will be cleaning out the pump which im sure has collected some gunk. Hoping thats all it is.....*sigh* learning is ironic....soon as I thi k nothing else could go wrong....it brings me back on my feet

Well could it be lacking severly in calcium and mag???

Just saying, from experiance dealing with HVAC units over the years, do this at your own risk, if you do you might as well rite your will earlier then later. Pumps are self contained if there metal no contamination, piping no oils are used for PVC or plastic piping. ?pkts?

What about the oils that come with the refrigerant my freind how long does it take for that to evaporate?

 

[G gnome]

Yes. Its just like usin ro water. More than likely u need to add cal mag like i sed originally.
The reason i sed mg was based on the look of ur plants coupled w the fact that ur usin distilled water.
Give er some calmag bro. Thank me later. It'll cure what ails ya guaranteed. U have one of the most common and easily fixed problems there is right there

 

[LuccaDaddy]

Here is the pump an collection gig I have going

You wouldn't know, just like asbestos poisoning. Took many, many years to figure that one out.

Sorry, pots.

What about the oils that come with the refrigerant my freind how long does it take for that to evaporate?

Oil isnt water soluble.
And where are these oils comin from?
The water collects on an aluminum A coil and is caught by a pan and drips thru pvc. Its not exposed to shit. If his ac aint leakin refrigerant then what r we talkin about?
