Cant wait to see it. Take pics of collecting....just so we know you did. Then, lets see your plants after a week of using this could be option
Cant wait to see it. Take pics of collecting....just so we know you did. Then, lets see your plants after a week of using this could be optionI know this thread got a lil heated. But y'all put me up on some serious game... Guess who's about to collect their ac condensation. I've been letting all that free water go down the drain. Thanks for battling it out y'all.
LolAdding water to a solution will dilute it.
LmaoI think i see now,

Just to throw it out there, my ppm never rises unless I add nutes.....adding water at half gallon times doesnt really change it much eitherIf the PPM Rises every day then it is being overfed.
My biggest girls smash 1.5 gal or so a day, nothing to do with evaporation. My ppm stays steady.Thats not necessarily true. Ime the ppm raises when the water level decreases in the rez due to transpiration and evaporation
Fox farm does NOT have
So then the RO water from the store does? Which is whatcive been using with no issues at all. Only untill now using the A/c water is the signs coming.Fox farm does NOT have calcium
Hey man I have a water softner. Its like the size of a gallon of milk...its hooked on the mainline into the house. Is that still ok to use? Tap has about a 200ppm I beleive. Im using 4 gallon carboys to collect the a/c runoff. Think I should mix half an half? Half tap, half ac unit water?I guess I'll chime into this shitshow.
Recollecting water from 22 quest 155s and 16 fan coil units. Been using it in coco with ZERO problems with 100% salt nutes. I cut it about 25% with tap for a top-off.
We clean drip pans twice a year and blow the drainage lines clean after every run. The water is perfectly clean with no buildup, film, murkiness or smell after sitting for a week. Every now and then drainage lines will have a bacterial buildup which is why we blow them regularly, I wouldn't recollect your water unless you are maintaining your collection system and know it's clean.
As for leaks and whatnot, if you can't tell there's a leak in your condensate you've got bigger things to worry about. I can tell if ONE unit is slightly leaking in a system that connects dozens of pieces of equipment together.
As far as drinking the water, you're fairly stupid if you think it's gonna kill you. Sure there are bacteria in it that COULD make you sick if I your system is disgusting and dirty, but come on, consider yourself blessed that your "dirty" water is still clear and sparkling. I've seen what people drink around the world and I would pick condensate water over well water in Chiapas or river water from the Ganges, any day.
I thought maybe he was using a current technique. Just trying to learn something new.Can't answer for him... I Now understand what you were asking.
I thought you were asking me to explain what I meant.
i used to run dwc but now i just do coco recirc and my feed rises apart from maybe the first few days of flower. I adjust every day, if it didn't rise i literally would have nothing to do when i visit my plants lolI thought maybe he was using a current technique. Just trying to learn something new.
Ok cool I got you.i used to run dwc but now i just do coco recirc and my feed rises apart from maybe the first few days of flower. I adjust every day, if it didn't rise i literally would have nothing to do when i visit my plants lol
Yea that's how it is with my dwc. Set it and forget it. I dump once a week and refill. Sometimes 10 days when they are small. But after a week ph starts acting up sometimes. And when they are big. I just let them drink the bucket empty and refill. My brute 10gal can holds 7gal to the bottom of the net so unless it's a monster I usually get a week out of that.i used to run dwc but now i just do coco recirc and my feed rises apart from maybe the first few days of flower.

I haven't grown any that big but I've pushed the lb club. Around 400g but I mainly grow autos. When I get in a space where I can actually build another grow it'll be a different story. I've been in an apartment for 2 years which limited me so much... Biggest single indoor plants I've seen are Hygro hybrid and he was right about 2lb a plant when I was watching him. But that's been a couple years.when i used to do dwc with each plant in an individual system a really good plant would drink maybe 30 litres a day at peak and feed levels would rise dramatically, sometimes reading past what my bulb could measure. Evaporation was a factor there i am sure but the plants loved it as they were getting so much fresh food and would regularly yield a kilo plus per plant.
i might have to run a plant like that again and pop it up on here, they are a beautiful sight!I haven't grown any that big but I've pushed the lb club. Around 400g but I mainly grow autos.

This post is so full of shit... I bet you can't point to one thread where I missed it.Lol dude, u go from on thread to another givin garbage ass advice. In this case u havent presented a single fact or made a valid argument. Ur original point was i wudnt drink it
More rude Behavior... Point it out of the time, or keep it to yourself.I just feel sorry for all the ppl ur "helping " who dont know enuff to know that u dont know shit.
I cant even count how many threads i came accross where u misdiagnosed plants w the utmost confidence. Ive held my tongue until know but u come on this thread while im trying to help this guy and u contradict what im sayin. Talkin outta ur ass.....
How is that not frustrating?... Get over it... or take care of it at the time.Whats my problem. ...? Here i am w real experience not only w using condensate but also w years of experience w ff nutes. Ive provided links w proof and i still got ppl arguing w me sayin shit like i wudnt drink it like thats supposed to mean something.
Its far too often I look at threads where ppl are askin for help and ya ppl like ur buddy kendog givin advice thats unfounded and just plain wrong....
U dont.like my negativity? Go fuck urself!!!! Jk. Haha
Look dude u keep talking about these oils and chemicals but havent provided a shred of evidence to support anything uv sed yet u still insist on arguing. How is that not frustrating?
Yes, he did need reinforcements... He was losing his argument.It seemed like you needed some reinforcements lol.
So annoying when people whine about something they've never done, because it sounds like the logical thing to whine about. intelligence may breed knowledge, but experience breeds wisdom. You don't know it and you can't knock it until you've tried it.
