There's some cool DIY well drilling vids on the Tube. I think they can get down about a hundred feet when drilling with PVC and using a trash pump to move the drilling mud.

Day 13 of 12/12 MC
Outside temp 78 humidity 60% SE 2 mph
Building temp 71.8 humidity 57%
Tent temp 73.6 humidity 57%
Canopy temp 80.2 highest
Water temp 68.7 down 1 gallon Falling
TDS 870 ppm was 917 ppm Falling
Ph 5.8 Static
Don’t know when then lights went out , at six this morning took a walk and didn’t hear the a/c running! Still haven’t found out why it tripped the ground fault! That line only shows 10.6 amps on that leg ! Gfi’s do go bad ! Just checked the timers shows I lost 1 hour and 15 minutes of light . Now to find out why it tripped! Pics

Thanks Skybound I’m happy there happy.
Looks to be a stretch going on with those leaves waving at us !
I copied InTheShed’s water report and requested one like it , was told the same he told me yesterday on the phone . What he told me I already got all I was gonna get ! Wow
I guess I need to go to one of the water company meetings !
22 gallons of city for Sunday water and nutrients change.

It looks like they're just testing for specific contaminants to prove it's potable, and nothing else!

I’m gonna surprise them at the next meeting! I’m gonna research ones like yours , this cat doesn’t run the company!
Here is what we get, but my guess is that LADWP is a slightly larger utility than your water company!

My local water company's report is shit too. Maybe it's only the major metros that have informative reports?

A little over 400 customers.
Good luck at the meeting

Girls still loving the nutrients and lights !
I tilted the Kind light towards the MC girls , The vipar spectra is 83k lux at 15 inches amazing!
The Kind at 24” is 68k lux !
The hps outside the tent shining in is 63k lux at 36” ! Pics

Day 15 of 12/12 MC and city water .
City water 332 ppm the ph is crazy! 8.3 ph if I can get it to 6.0 I’ll give it a rest . 60 mL of acid has brought it down to 6.3 ph adding 15 more mL to the reservoir! 2 mixing pumps and 1 circulation pump gets it done . Only moved to 6.3 , adding 30 mL acid ! Down to 6.03 by the blue lab ! That’s 120 mL of acid to get here , 20 minutes the light goes off I’ll keep an eye on it till then !
Water temp 69.0
TDS now after all that acid 1289 ppm was 1092 before adding ph down.
Ph 6.0
Roots hadn’t been watered since 6:am gonna let them have the water! Checked again still 6.03 ph lm afraid the ph might take a dive . Have both mixing pumps running , the new one churns some water !

Day 16 of 12/12 MC and city water
Outside temp 85 humidity 65% S17 mph
Building temp 73.6 humidity 64%
Tent temp 76.8 humidity 57%
Canopy temp 84.7 highest over by the Kind led , the vipar spectra 82.1 lowest
Water temp 71.6 down 2 gallons Falling
TDS 1149 ppm was 1289 ppm Falling
Ph 7.3 70 mL of acid to get 5.8 ph
If the city water works I’ll ph the standing water to a ph of 6.9-6.8 I watched it only drop the ph 1.0 after mixing the nutrients from 8.3 to 7.3 ph.
The girls are reaching for that light even with a 7.3 ph over the night ! Damn it already rose to 6.04 added 5 mL base , going to put the blue lab outside the tent and check it every hour or two! Now the ph is 5.83 . Damn city water wants an alkaline level of ph .
Have some bad news will report on the mh/ hps grow !
Pics of the small leaves clones ! Was plants 2&3 of the last grow !

10 hours later the ph rose to 5.96 not bad was 5.83 . If it keeps this up I’m gonna run out of acid to drop the ph . Tap water , The leaves haven’t changed any ! The ph will be adjusted to 6.8 because the MC will drop 1 point to give me the 5.8 trial and error ,no errors please !
Maybe a blend of 50/50 city/RO would help? Still give you some minerals without the crazy high pH?

I want to know what MC considers a sweet spot for the ph in hydro!
50/50 sounds good and if this works which I see nodes filling in the stretch since the change early Sunday morning ! I know the leaves were pointing to the light with the ro water but now they are standing on end to point ! This city water maybe the right move !
