Ventilation rules........END OF MY STORY about that.

Ever get east of the Missippi, gimme a shout, you might even be there now, hell I dont know. I am in the Mid Atlantic area of the good ole U.S. of A. Love to burn one, toss back a few cold ones, and char some flesh on the smoker.

Well, I dicked with tap water, but mine was only 80 ppm (2 grains) hard I think was the number. Then I thought, I am going to get R.O. system and install when I put laundry sink in grow room. To be honest, I see no difference outside of the fact that I gotta add Cal-Mag back to it.

We sound like two lazy phucks. Dial em in, set and forget, and keep it simple. Afterall this stuff is a weed. Its damn near impossible to kill in all honesty. I mean you gotta work at it to kill it. I simply follow my previous grows to the letter and have no worries. Leaf tips aint fryin, shit aint droopin over like its on its last leg, etc.

As i said before, 4-6-10 grams difference per grow means about as much to me as the price of snake oil in Saudi Arabia. I drop in room most nghts around 6:30 or so, everything is lookin good and outside of a weekly rez change, its that simple. Sometimes I even go two weeks on a rez change. I know they preach weekly change and all that, but I am not really sold on that either.

I hang out and watch TV, surf net in the room sometimes til 11 or so, make sure all my equipment is still on cycle and thats about it.

This pH up a little, pH down a little, add another 100 ppm, blah blah blah.........It aint me. Again, how much do you actually gain? Maybe if this was a cash crop deal with me I might worry about it. Even then, I doubt I would.

My overall philosophy is as follows; Keep it simple. Give your plants hells of fresh air, keep a stable pH, and dont fry/shock the livin piss outta them with 100-200ppm extra nutes. I am convinced they remain much healthier, have zero shock factor to overcome, and all in all produce a better finished product. ANyone who wants to call me on this, feel free. But dont be offended when I say what you offer is bullshit........

My wheel is perfectly round, I am not about to try to reinvent it.

Keep em green,

ASD......I am still pondering the pH thing. I'll get back with you on that one. I have some theories, but I am not sure whats correct at the moment. I need to do some more research before I put in my two cents.
