thank's stinky 4 the advice :thumbsup: in the long run it will be cheaper 2 get a ro system but the setup i'm thinking of using is deffdrummer's 5gal drip / dwc system with latewood's recipe with a twist ( instead of cal-mag plus , i was going 2 use AN SENSI CAL MG GROW / BLOOM & instead of liuid karma was thinking of using AN B-52 which is stated i can use in the thread ; i was also thinking of using big bud & hammerhead & of course final phase ) . until i've perfected my own recipe i was thinking of using distilled water ( work in a lab where distilled water is pretty much free , as i could use the excuse that i'm working at home on work projects ) 4 this grow . buying the nutes , better materials 4 growroom , beans , testers i'm tryin 2 keep costs down 4 this grow but i want2 do it rightso i can get a better harvest than last time . sorry 2 ramble have a habbit of that when i've smoked one 2 many lol :jointsmile: but 4 this grow i'm left with distilled water as my only option as my tap water is well water ( 2 hard !!!) so do u think i'll be alright with it ? read alot of threads in here & u stinky know ur stuff girl :thumbsup: want2beagrower :jointsmile:
