Thanks Jingo - On a bit of searching there seems to be some debate on whether that 4th stage could actually be bad, so if I get one, I'll go for a 3 stage. Having to have it running for hours, once I do figure out how to actually get it connected up, is putting me off......I think.....for this first go, to try just with tap (after the initial bottled water stage for seedlings)......if they keel over so be it, I have backup seeds and shouldn't have wasted much time....but hopefully they may still thrive (never know I might get lucky and it could be all the nutrients it's looking for - wishful thinking haha). I'll continue looking at my RO options, as it may come in handy anyway, but if I start now then at least that's progress, instead of waiting days or weeks more while I try and sort the RO
I've only seen UK growers adopt RO systems in about the last four years, before that they always just subtracted out the EC from the total feed and stayed under the maximums.

cool - here's hoping - definately starting the seeds off tonight - from memory I think I need to soak them in a jar of water first for overnight (with some rhizo in so I'll have to check on the dose of that) before putting them onto paper (I'll search on that before I do it in case I'm wrong )
What please are the maximums for seedlings/young plants? With an EC of 1.0 off the bat, prob haven't much to play with,
I've never used Rizo myself, I wonder if it doesn't help a little bit with hard water the way a lot of UK growers swear by it. What I found with root stimulators is they are almost mandatory in soil and really kind of unnecessary in coco.

Hi bud my tap water is 0.7ec and a ph of 7.0-8.0 and i have no problems growing with growers ark nutrients but there closed atm i think.
I had many problems with different nutes with my water. If you can get growers ark hardwater somewhere id Highley recommend them and there traces.
Dont want to put you off canna but Personally i wouldn't choose them with the water as there made to suit 0.4ec but i could be wrong as i haven't tryed them.
Hydrotops are also meant to be good for high ec backrounds.
Dutch pro hardwater did ok job with ny water also.
Just use rhizo and ph for the first week or so
Good luck!

Thanks - I've just been spending sometime, and while I might need to mess with adapters, I've gone and ordered a 3 stage RO unit.....here's hoping it comes soon - I seem to have less bottled water than I thought in the meantime, so hopefully the seeds won't start flying super early for needing lots of water
