Re: Going organic
That's cool mate. I got one from a pond place. Seem to be better prices than the hydro shops etc.

Re: Going organic
That looks sound pal. Probably get a better flow rate than to filters too.

Re: Going organic
Regarding getting rid of chlorine, I just use an airstone in a bucket left running whenever the lights switch on and Tap water. Never had any issues with chlorine killing the goodies in the soil BUT I'm using a different type of Organics to the @GHO stuff at the moment so I can't say it will definitely work for you. It also adds more O2 to the water though. Might be a cheaper option for you

Re: Going organic
I just tested my normal tap water in various ways:
https://growroom420.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=10781
I only use tepid tap water with a splash of apple cider vigegar or some fulvic acid, that neutralises any trichlorides, which will not evaporate.
I think RO water is more for hydro. The most natural thing is rain water, but you have to ensure bugs and pests aren't there in that when you collect it.

Re: Going organic
One of my pals does rainwater on his allotment. Ended up with white worm infestation in his greenhouse tomatoes. I like rainwater, I throw charcoal in my barrels as that's what my grandad did. The other thing I do is collect the water from the dehumidifier I use to keep stock dry. I run a hose from this into 50l drums.DIY.Rik wrote:I just tested my normal tap water in various ways:

Re: Going organic
I went for the Evolution aqua dechlorinator mate. But here was just in the groom there before lights go out and noticed some leaves on both plants look rounded, is this normal or some sort of mutation or something. Its only the wee small leaves

Re: Going organic
.....ah yes the two little fingers at the back there. I wouldn't worry about it myself. See what someone else thinks, but I wouldn't loose any sleep over it.
I have a right mutant leaf with 12 serrated fingers on it

Re: Going organic
Lol think I vaguely remember seeing u post about that leaf mate. Yeah apart from noticing those couple of leaves the plants looks mega healthy and a real nice colour. The little white specs you can see on the leaf in one of the pictures is from me when I tapped the wee critters out of the packet amd some of the dust fell on the leafDIY.Rik wrote:.....ah yes the two little fingers at the back there.
