Times Up Blondie.
With the exception of a few gallons of RO water due to drought, these plants were given only rainwater with a small amount of fertilizer. Never over 300ppm" of anything. Chop Chop

Gotta Love harvest time...
Here's a pretty bud from this grow.
Heavy Couch-lock!!!
Hell, I guess should do a grow using RO water too so we can see the difference. What do you think Blondie?
If you look at the photo above you can see some plants on the side in veg. They are the next plants I'm growing using RO water with fertilizer. It's been a while since I've used only RO so I have to get dialed in again. Here's a week later after transplanting into the flowering container.
Heres today.

Is the Reverse Osmosis to remove C-rap from Tap water ?
I have well water.
So far the only detail I know is, it has 39 parts per million of Copper.
Seems to work good.

RO takes out almost everything leaving only about 3 to 7 ppm. When using RO you need to fortify it with cal mag for the best results.
Here are the new RO plants before watering. They're thirsty here.
Here is 3 days later just after watering. These plants stay very short because of their genetics. Maybe just 24 inches or 60 cm max. However the room is growing wider.
@FletchF.Fletch .. fletchi think I recall you saying cannatonic didn’t do anything for you?
Nice. Not sure I posted here but this is what been hitting. Charlottes angel cbd mostly. I’ve found a salad combo of this and Malawi makes an extremely nice vape session. The 24x7 chest pains I have are calmed at least some. The two compliment each other well. The Angel is pure rain and outdoor goodness from above. It did well but I seem to lack the yield others get. Working on it....

Hi @blondie, must have been someone else's post. I haven't tried Cannatonic or Charlotte, or the other CBD strains, only Pennywise from Subcool (RIP) which was a 1:1 and was Stellar!! Bet you get similar effect mixing the Blend.
Just finished some Bubba Kush x PCK from ACE. Range of chemotypes, some High CBD, very relaxing.

I’ve been thinking how to fortify soil with calcium at least and started to add quantities of egg shells to the compost bins. Thinking it takes time to break this down but by the time the compost is ready for plants, hopefully the calcium will be readily available. Not sure on this. Anyone? Long flowering sativas with RO under LEDS seems like this is a good idea. I’m not going to do RO myself but wonder if stripping out all or most nutes, then adding back is a good idea? I guess getting rid of unwanted minerals outweighs the need for a bit added back.
It’s nearly time for me to refill rain water supplies. Though I’ve covered most containers the remaining water has been around since spring/early summer.

Egg shells take a long tome to break down, 5 to 10 years I read. Why not add limestone? It will speed up the process and release calcium and magnesium. No carbonates to worry about by the time it's all composted.
I use cal mag.
Its time to flip these RO water plants to flower. I've been given 2 ml of cal mag per gallon of RO water. Since I'm using calcium carbonate and mag carbonate I have to let the water and cal mag set for a day before adding fertilizer. I use just enough fertilizer to maintain 300 ppm with every watering. So far so good.
Five of the plants are "Yamuna x Afghan," from
(Uttarkhand, N. India; Afghanistan) and the 6th I don't know what it is.

It will be interesting seeing these small plants flower. The breeder said the yield was 400 to 450 grams per plant indoors under a 400 to 600-watt HPS. I will keep my fingers crossed but I don't see it with these little plants. .
These plants are responding to the flip nicely. I had to expand the wall a foot and a half to give them more space. Here is 72 hrs after the photo above.
