That’s why I got a zero filter and am saving up for a good ro system.

Out of likes but ours is bad to, it’s over 600ppms
Mine is well water, so it’s not terrible but it does take away from your feed. Thank you all for the input, I’m learning a great deal.

By the way, what does a good RO system cost?

I have this one and it works as advertised. I connect to the garden hose outside but I’m in SoCal.

Plants look good. How much liquid are you giving them when feeding 2 times a day? Like @Myfriendis410 I have the same RO unit and like the results, that reminds me I need to shut it off.

Sounds like your over watering, I would back off on the watering. Let the medium dry out more. I water mine when the pots are light or when I can stick my finger into the second knuckle an not feel moisture. I’ll admit I have never grown in coco so I do not know how quickly it dries out.
I water almost every day once a day, I’m in 5 gallon pots, I use 1 gallon and water each with about a half gallon. If they dont feel light enough I wait another day, and every 3rd-4th feeding I just give them phed water at 0 ppms, again I am just following the instructions on the box.
I’m following alot of what dr mj coco has to say. Alot of it makes sense but in real life and never doing it before it’s really nerve racking.
Here is a couple good articles, alot of basics but some in depth coco related stuff.
Looking much better!!!
@MrPeat thinking about going smaller, maybe a 3 gallon smart pot my next grow for autos. 2 of these are 7 gal and one is 5 gal, a little to big to move around.
@CoyoteCody they are finally growing around day 23 from sprouting. How are yours?

Understandable…I don’t move mine no more. Killed several bean stalks that way.
Thank you. I agree, and once they do it’s off to the races.
I read once on a post from an experienced grower that they only use 3-gallon on autos. He theory is that their life cycle is so fast that the roots wound fill a 5-gallon pot so why waist the money on extra soil
