Not on city water - we have well water, so no water report.

If my targets 500ppm I only include 310ppm of nutes.

Thank you - thats what I was looking for !
Good morning BG, 
I hope you are feeling better today.
When you bought the place, perhaps there was a well report in all of the disclosures you signed?
In any case, knowing what is in your water is pretty important (for your health as well as your plants’). There are places that will test your water for you. Just to make sure there isn’t any lead or arsenic, etc in it.
In the meantime, do you get hard water deposits on your faucets or shower head?

Morning Felipe … headache is still here, but the migraine is subsiding. The utter silence in the house is deafening … no barking to be let out (Sadie barked or rang the bells, Bekah just runs up and down the hallway *lol) … no barking to let me know its their dinner time (only Sadie made it a point of being known, Bekah was the follower) …Good morning BG,

Regarding the water, I may just have to go ahead and find out how to get it tested. My husband's family actually built the house back in ‘85. And yeah, the hard water deposits (that orange build up) was REALLY bad until we put in the whole home water filter last year. PPMs used to be like 750-800, now they’re around 200. Still get *some* build up - just nowhere near as bad as before
I used ward lab (www.wardlab.com) to get my well water tested. Just fill a water bottle and send it in.
So far so good I’ve Ben a week on well water on my dwc I’ve tested it way back wen I moved def was in good range to be a water source but just went with city water witch I’ve used for years

2021-12-01 - Day 25
Tent temp: 75° F
Tent RH: 45%
Res temp: 67° F
PPM: 850 … steady
pH: 6.3 … rising … adjusted to 5.3
Water level: … falling.
Liv’s looking good (bar that one severely ugly/spotty fan leaf on the left). She’s a full 17” across and 5” high. Roots look beautiful (on small dark spot in the middle, but everything else is white). Tucked down the big fan leaves to under the other growth.
In the last pic you can see how she decided to grow sideways out of the rapid rooter.

Go Liv! Go! She's doing fantastic!
She looks great! How much did you need to top up?

She’s actually starting to look a little like yours; though I dont dare to believe I’ll aspire to your green-god state yet!
She's doing fantastic!
So the ppm will be lower when you top up - she’s drinking and eating.
Too kind- FelipeBlu is twice the grower I am, and I have no doubts that you can grow a monster to rival him
Reach for the stars, girl. Always. Even if you don't quite get them you're liable to grab the moon.
That leaf is her talking to you Babygirl. When I look at it that way they lose the ugly a little.
Lookin good BG.
