I'm growing in coco feeding multiple times a day and I'm killing myself getting ro water and lugging it up stairs. I don't have the water pressure for a ro filter here. There must be an easier way
No I haven't how do I do that? I don't use my tap because the ppm put of the tap is high.What's wrong with your tap water? Have you had it tested?
Ok lets see. You could go to HD and get 2 say 30 gallon black tots double them up so the water does not push the sides out and place a small pump inside with a garden hose fitting and pump the water up to the second floor. Maybe get one of the Wemo outlets so you can use a phone app to shut it off so you do not have to run down stairs. But to be honest, if the watering is killing you just wait for harvest and trimming. That will know the wind right out of your sails.I'm growing in coco feeding multiple times a day and I'm killing myself getting ro water and lugging it up stairs.

Your using alot of lingo I don't understand. I've been growing acouple years now using the cocoforcannabis method and I'm tired of lugging ro water upstairs. My tap water ppm is 137. What's my options?Ok lets see.

137 is fine. You can probably ditch any calcium or magnesium if you are adding that but as mentioned take a look at your water report from your city if you have one. If you want a cheap tap water nutrient try Jacks 321. They have a line just for tab. Cheap and works well.Your using alot of lingo I don't understand.

You might and you might not. It would depend on your cities water quality report. I use it regularly and I have at times used like 10 mils per gallon because of issues. It does not hurt but I would drop it by like week 6 of flower.I'm growing in coco tho don't I need the extra cal mag?

I pretty much moved away from all of the snake oil stuff as mentioned above. They are just for selling people nutrients. Some do things but most of them will make your plant fox tail. I have tried about 10 of the different add ons and they do help but there are consequences to their use. You can trade taste, smell and oil production for yield.I'm using gh3part with Cal mag, silica, Kool bloom, floralicious, and diamond nectar
How should I get started using Jack's?I pretty much moved away from all of the snake oil stuff as mentioned above. They are just for selling people nutrients.

That is odd, my city posts specifics in regards to Calcium and Magnesium. But to be honest. Just take a look at Jacks 321. You would need a scale and a way to keep the packages out of the air like some 5 or 7 gallon buckets with Gama lids so it does not gain moisture. For like 150 bucks you will have about enough base nutrients to mix up 3000 gallons of feed. Keep it simple stupidhttps://www.jeffparish.net/departments/water-department/water-quality-reports-and-tables that's my city water report
Shoot them an email with your water report and they'll give you suggestions. They're pretty cool folks over there.How should I get started using Jack's?
You're doing fine with water like that. I have to use RO because my tap water comes out around 500ppm. I've been using RO and distilled water and adding Cal/Mag to it to get the PPM back to 300 (from 0-20). I'm thinking of simply mixing my tap water 50/50 with RO to reduce the PPM to where I want it anyway. You could actually add some Cal/Mag to your tap water!. Just get rid of the chlorine if you have it.Your using alot of lingo I don't understand.
