Cool....Smoke more dope....eat more medibles......Do more dabs......WTF ever it takes to maintain , and above all , keep that positive fuckin attitude you bring to the table.....well, thank you all very much but it's not a health threatening situation. i'm just going to be uncomfortable for the first 3 mos and i'm already a month into it. the worst part will be over with by sept.
it's a new experimental 3 way therapy and i'm one of the guinea pigs.
it seems to be working as my viral load has dropped to near undetectable levels in less than a month.
the physical symptoms are about like a bad case of the flu.
it's nothing compared to 10 years of cancer and a liver transplant.
i'll be fine!
hey, it does look like a water problem. the recent change to ro won't repair damaged leaves.
1200ec on your meter i take it is the same as ec 1.2
have you rinsed off an ice cube from the same source? viewing it for the amount of solids present but also in your case for color. any color at all indicates toxicity. except for opaque white, which is what the minerals should look like in the ice cube.
the ro filter won't remove all toxins but will get most minerals.
chlorine is only contained in water by keeping it all in an enclosure, like a plumbing system. as soon as it hits air it should start giving off the chlorine.
i wouldn't ph adjust the solution at all with ro water no matter what the initial reading is. i have found that, with jack's, it will stabilize at a good functional level by itself.
thanks for the photos showing your build. i really like the cpvc adapters rather than the carlon fittings at the pipe side.
and the cut down 3.5's for the tops.
but try mixing in the volume tank without the ph adjuster.
check an ice cube for color.
Hey guys,
This is a good post for me to follow up. I've got 3 PPK's running and I'm not getting the jump I expected. Veg room is running 75 to 90 on the hottest days. RO water with Jack's and CalNit. When I tried no ph adjusting the Rez was way down in the 4's and ec 1.2.
The ec was climbing slightly with no ph change, so I've been adding just RO and a little ph up. Now it's at 1100ec and 5.25ph.
Target is 1100 and 5.7 to 5.8. Some of the slowness is prolly due to me transplanting from ProMix into the PPK's. I rinsed the rootball severly as I am worried about the tailpieces plugging (I placed an 9" circle of fiberglass window screen under the rootball and about 1" above the bottom of the Turface as a precaution).
I'm hoping that the combination of the rootball wash and low ph are the reasons for stall. They have grown, the larger one has gone from 18" to 26", but it's been 3 weeks now. Not comfortable enough to commit any more space to PPK till I see them grow faster than ProMix with H & Garden.
I've got some babies in turface with wicks for the next unit (all built and Rinsed). Hoping for a smoother transition.
All the turface dust from the first three units has settled out and I've just left it in the bottom. Solution runs completely clear since the 2nd day so I can't see that beein' an issue.
Feedback from you Delta9 would be great, but I knows your not feeling 100%. I'd be happy to hear from any of you guys running PPK's about the low ph. Pretty sure Disciple or someone else posted about these conditions, I know I'm a little warm and the girls may be drinking more than eating. That's why I'm aiming for a slightly lower ec.
Delta9, hang tough. There's a lot of us out here pulling for you.
Peace

Thanks for the quick reply. I just checked and all I see is opaque white minerals. So I should drain the system and refill with RO but without adjusting ph knowing it will settle around 4.45? The plants seem to be growing rapidly as far as height overall but with smaller leafs than expected and also the curling. I figured I'd let it ride for a few days unless it gets worse. Most plants seem a bit pale also, there's no healthy green flush like normal. Somethings stressing these girls I'm just not sure what. I'm skeptical of this water because of the huge ph difference between filtered and not filtered.
Yea the cpvc is ok but schedule 80 pipe would be better
