Hey bro, GK...
I have to differ from my buddy GK.:o Before I bought the real stuff:cool: because of the high metal 187ppms in my well water, I always had to add alot of vinegar. we both know the pro stuff blows it away, but when you are out...you are out.
I bought a nice reverse osmosis unit off ebay and that alleviated the metals problem...goodluck
love love love.

5.2 is way too LOW!!! Optimum ph for hydro is 5.8, but can be varied during flower from 5.4-5.9 if you know what you are doing.
Who told you to ph @5.2?
you need to read my friend. peace
