I'm not sure why you think I believe everything is "converted" in the soil.
You are quick to jump to conclusions.
Cannabis can absorb "unabsorbables" without first being converted.
It is not a unique plant in that regard.
Elements can catch a ride without being converted.
Encapsulation and vascular bundles are not new science. There are many papers available on Google Scholar that go in depth and may help you you understand.

Of course it's not converted, and yet it still gets absorbed. You basically re-iterated every point I've made on why you should always use r/o.

Yes, when you only want necessary elements to be absorbed you want to use r/o. You're correct.

Nailed it.

The science seems to be a bit over your head.
Think less about trying to save face and just smoke a bowl.

D.Curtis made a good point about starting from zero being easier than chasing around a solution for your tap water issues. Good luck.

Convinced me. It's RO time.

I care about people having the right information. You're obviously missing what he's missing.

Cannabis absorbs unconverted elements. Elements which it has zero need for, elements which it packs away and which do not flush out. The **Last** thing you want in your root zone are unconverted or unusable elements.

Amino/Fulvic acids and such do not hang around waiting to catch what's in your water and instantly convert it to useable elements. Because of this, your quality will be lower than when you start with pure water.

Science.

Just ordered an RO.
