Yes... this is true... but I'm working on it. I plan on doing the "cheap rez cooler" thing... a small PC fan on a 90degree PVC elbow, blowing air into your rez. Supposedly, this will work wonders...

Let's see if I can do it during this weekend.

Should anything be added to the RO water to make up for lost minerals? PH is 5.6 (no TDS yet, will have when nutes are added). This information took me a while to compile, so I was just runnin ii by you guys to make sure it was all up to parr.
Blaze, I don't have the experience to tell you if it'll work or not (the FoxFarm)... right now, this is my 1st grow... I'm just following directions and suggestions.

I've found that it's better to underfert your plants, than to risk over fertilizing them. I still haven't had such luck and overferted one of my girls... althought I was close... very close... two or three fan leaves are SUPER dark green (signs of overfert).

RO water... definitely, you need to add CalMag PLUS. The RO process removes, basically, everything. You need to add those trace minerals back. CalMag PLUS :thumbsup:

The pH of 5.6 sounds good... I'm keeping it around 5.80 or something like that... there's a nifty chart in the FAQs, and on the second post of this thread. Save it if you can to your computer.

Well, it's all relative. Safe compared to.... ???....

Much of the safety depends on yourself. Don't do dumb stuff online. Don't say where you're from. Don't give out your addy. Don't post your Yahoo!, gMail, Hotmail, etc. eMail addresses. Post your HushMail address only (or the equivalent). Whenever you're communicating or something, use different eMails for each case... don't use your same hushmail addy for eBay, as, you'll be linking both your real name/addy with that hushmail addy.

Is it possible that the feds, FBI, NSA, etc. are getting all this, and following people? Well, yes.

But, you got to put it in context... I don't think they'll go after two plants inside a closet. Maybe a 550 plant grow... but two plants? A newb? Couple of ounces? I don't think they're so much inclined.

That's it, basically for safety.

Peace out gK and bIdo,
