I use the strips for runoff
I have the drops as backup
I use tap water that sits out for 3 days to dechlorinate. I pretty sure they donāt treat with chloramines around here.
I have the roots calmag powder and salt based calmag. But my issue is a little more aggressive than your typical calmag deficiency I think.
Itās 2024 all municipalities use chloramine to treat their water itās a law. If you go down to your water treatment plant you can pull a Water analysis report instantly.
But I can bet my eye teeth all municipalities are using chloramines chlorine hydrochloride the stuff that can gas out after sitting for 3 days they stop most places stop doing that back in 2010
But with that being said if your water is low PPM all you need is a dechlorinator itās like 60 bucks itās just your sediment pre-filter and a kdf 85 you donāt even need arrow if your Waters would get them at least not full of shit like our water is like I get about 450 ppm at 500 scale (630 ppm @ 700) so Iāve been using RO water since 2001
Even though youāre growing soup style organics, using bottles and stuff that Roots line is extremely good itās a lovely line to use and once itās dialed in you can have results similar to super soil if not right on par or maybe better depending on how you maestro it. But with a massive deficiency like you got going on towards the end there that I almost want to say is the absence of microlife being killed off not being able to convert organics to readily available nutrients possibly due to a chlorine contamination itās I know when shit gets like this.
Seems like thereās no fucking end to it.
For instance I just clocked around $7,000 on renovating a room framing it in I fucked up and basically created Auschwitz for plants.
The tile that I used is full of butyl phthalates. A lot of the caulking I use also is full of butyl phthalates.
Thereās no saving that room I have to build out another room in the downstairs bedroom Iām in the middle of doing that right now actually Iām on the way to the hardware store to get some paint
itās a straight kick in the dick but your problem is going to be easily solved for under $200 mine on the other hand this unforeseen phantom I found him itās off gassing. And Iām into another couple Grand just a fucking finished his room out meantime I got my plants sitting outside 46 plants with plant count of 12 and shitting bricks daily
Damn get them plants under cover
