So, I just got a pool type PH tester, you know, the tiny test tubes and the 3 drops of solution.
The unsoftened well water with a pinch of Jack's fertz. registers 7.5. So I'm gonna use that instead of the RO water.
Wait, maybe I'll give 2 the RO water and 2 the well water. hmmmm

They're still growing and no BBQ today!

Y'all can have that snow. I left it a long time ago and I'd rather not deal with it.

RO is great if you live on municipal water or need your water completely devoid of anything. But then you have to put back in calcium, magnesium and so on. So if you get your well water tested you can still have a base line and who knows you may not have to add in Cal Mag or Iron or whatever, depending on the soil you use.

If your county Health dept does well water checks have them run it for you. Cheaper. If not you can send it to a lab. Also you can use USGS Soil Survey and get some idea of what your soil is containing, it's ph, it's ECEC (cation exchange) and therefore how it may be hitting your well. I live on the Nacatoch Sand (part of the old Cretaceous inland sea) belt so my soil is very sandy, low ph (5.5), ECEC is shyte, so I really don't treat my well water.

Then again, you can always melt snow ✌️

Plants look really good.

First freeze here tonight, but I’m still going to grill!

But seriously, skip the RO water. It’ll cause more problems than it’s worth. If you can drink it, your plants can too

Funny you say that, 'cause I drink out of the hose, the way us old timers always have, it tastes great, and I'm still on the right side of the grass. LOL

Wait till you hit flower. During veg I find things to do like cleaning out center leaves to give light/ air where needed but flower time is sit and watch the grass grow, and grow, and grow ...

Same. I like being in the grow room tinkering with the plants. Flower time I just go in there and stare for 10 minutes.

Har.!🤣. All I could think of is how the grass around my plants had died, and soil compacted from me pacing around the parimeter of my grow lot, watching and observing the girls thru out the season


I'd have a groove wore in the floor of my house, if I grew inside.😆

And I would bet you watered your plants over the summer straight from the well too.

Yup! Best place to observe, and burn one. Lots or smoke time spent in the garden.

So, an update.
I started training, oh and today was the first time they got well water. (with a little silica)
And I kept the little mutated critters, as well as the 2 'in case of'. (I know, I know) LOL

The main 4 are looking good and strong. When did you pin them down?

I was looking into a weird color issue on my sour diesel and learned something new. It's called chlorosis. I don't remember everything but a couple causes are over watering and nute deficiency. Commonly mag. and iron this early. The deficiency can be a lack of them or caused by pH lockout. You might Google it. Not sure if this is your problem but a lead to may figure it out.

Ya, don't think it's that. Maybe I should give them a 4 hour rest period. You know, 20/4 instead of 24/0.
