Hello Everyone,
Been hanging out for a while and learning from all of you MP'ers. Thanks, the wealth of knowledge here is just that.. " very Wealthy ". OK, I am a long time soil grower who just switched to soiless. Sunshine Mix #4 with added perlite and dolomite lime. There doesn't seem to be a bunch of info. out there, at least that I can find. My trouble lies with my water, I think. Out of the tap my PH is 8.5 to 9.0. My Bluelab Truncheon meter says that my ppm's are between 200 and 300. One question is when I'm making nutes do I just adjust up from that starting range to the recommended range? Is my water bad enough that I should invest in a RO machine? Until I can fund it can one of you explain how I might get around this issue? I know there is probably more questions, but we can start here. BTW I am using the Botanicare Kind series for nutes. Thanks for your help everyone.. Pone
