I noticed the EQ name cause I have been playing for about 7 years now and still do. As for water for Hydro, all I use is tap water with GH Flora series nutes and adjust the PH down to 6.0 only other thing I put in the water is Superthrive but that gets takin out of the mix for flowering. By all means listen to what WH tells ya!! WH has a thumb alot greener than mine and I just try to help where I can :jointsmile: BTW my avatar is my main EQ toon hehe
