that whirlpool filter will remove bio traces down to 1 micron or 99.5 %. citric acid for ph would probably be prefered to the general hydro product.....HAVE FUN!!!!!

It all depends whats in your well, also! Did you say it was like 700 ppm? or 200-300? Wells can often have very high levels of iron and/or sulfur, which can cause lock-out issues. Where I live, my well comes out around 350-450 ppm, and even after running it through a Tall Boy and then a Stealth RO, I only get it down to about 30-40 ppm. Sometimes I will add back some well water to buffer the RO a bit or raise my pH. I personally don't like 0 ppm RO water, even for hydro, but once again, it all depends on what is coming out of your well. Its worth getting it tested! City tap water is a different story, run that through just a Home Depot/Lowes/Tall Boy filter to remove the chlorine/chloramine, and you should be below the 100 ppm mark and good to go. But with wells, each well is different and with all the mining that has gone on in Colorado, you really have no clue what you are getting until you test it.
And yea, you can get some organic pH down, also. Earth Juice and Mad Farmer both make pretty decent pH down that should inflict any pain on your microbial life.

Space case I had a well at my old place in Arkansas and the plants loved it, but here I'm on municipal water. Ph is 7.8 and 740-760ppm.
I did not worry about it at first but my clone moms I brought with me have pretty much stopped growing and some even look sick after two weeks of this municipal water. I have been letting it sit for a couple days to let the chlorine evaporate but until a couple days ago I had not done anything for the ppm or ph.
as far as PH down I decided to go with citric acid instead.
For my filter I ordered one of these....

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone

Pueblo water is shit. All faucets have white salt build up around the outlets unless recently replaced. Lots of everything. I prefer to know what I am putting in whether it be soil or hydro but that is just me. The Hydrologic system you were most likely to be shown in P town is simple, easy, and works great. For your needs it will be over kill but you just won't have to change the filter as often as a larger user. It comes with a optional waste water reducer fitting.
Sediment and charcoal filters are mainly used to make water more palatable (charcoal) and so you don't have grit (sediment). Doesn't change water quality at all.
Space Case said it--some wells are excellent and some wells are not, it just depends on what aquifer you are taking it out of, usually deeper is better. On wells, I would recommend a UV water sterilizer especially if it is not a deep well.
Just my humble opinions.
Know a guy who lived in Canon City and he used to say, "Flush twice, Pueblo needs the water."

Is that a digital microscope or a new camera?
Either way with some fine tuning you are going to have some amazing shots!

Cheap ass digital scope,....(only 45x magnification) I really wish I had the scratch to waste on a proper camera that could take macro's like that!!!!!
Nother shot same bud.
I'm still playing with the software,... seems like I could get better resolution by changing settings here and there.

hey guys, i know this answer is probably in this thread somewhere but i dont have the time to dig 350+ pages! and im having some trouble googling it...
can you be a legal caregiver in co. if you have been charged with a felony but not convicted?
a friend tells me you cant...
and, could i take overages from my personal garden in?
i know the laws are not clear if two cardholders can share the same garden, does anyone have some insight on how this is? (of course wondering if my girlfriend/wife could share the same space)
i hope these questions are ok. mods, my apologies if they are not.

You gotta clearly mark who's plant is who's, but that's probably not right either.

Hey folks,
I'm looking for some info?, could someone PM me as to what clones are available in Denver to a medical user, I need a really good hash producer, the Blue Dream from Denver I'm growing now is just not cutting it as a hashish producer.

Maximo, I got this Flo cut from CDS-THC on Colo blvd:
Also if anybody is looking to get production strain check out Big Head Todd. It has thick, dense, frosty nugs...great yield. Aroma ranges from coffee to chocolate to fruit. Should be able to finish in under 8 weeks too. I fucked it up on my first go round but it's looking outrageous for me this time.

It's not bad if you have the qualifications. The hard place is finding a space to grow in.
