hi all and thnks
growing in soil
my tape water EC 2.4 that,s ppm 1200 @ x500 way high(im using CF ECO stick nutrient meter and it dose work)it,s my water.
my ph is 8 and i bring it to 6,5 using ph down
i used reverse osmosis machine to bring my tape water ppm down, but the plants don,t like it.(ppm from the r/o water is 00)
leaves yellow and turn entirly yellow with brown spot nd tips burn
i did use my tape water in the past with no much problem( apart that i coulid not feed them much as the tape water is already EC 2.4 and then i add fertilizers to it (burn the plant)plants get burn a little when i add fertilizers. tap water e.c 2.4 + fertilizers!!
so my ? what can i do to bring my ppm down??how about mixing the tape water with the pure reverse osmosis water ?

are you using cal mag + with your ro water?
advanced nutrients do a sensi cal mag grow and a cal mag bloom thats what i use.you will have to replenish the Micro nutrients that the ro sytem removes from the tap water ie, magnesium and calcium if you have been using just straight ro water this will be why you are having problems.be safe Dave
