Message: [QUOTE="crsublette, post: 185511, member: 3847"] Correct. diRO water is pretty much a blank slate. Regular RO water will have a higher KH than diRO water. However, with a [B]higher pH[/B], then the more nutrients is bound into non-soluble plant formations so then more nutrients will need to be dosed into the water. Adding nutrients to the water is a constant. There's no way to avoid this. The only way to reduce this is by creating a wicking bed, that is put into an open looping system with your crops, using a soil mix that compensates for any nutrient loss. I am pretty sure my previous posts have mentioned this many times. This is why I am so impressed with the Earthan Group project due to the fact they have to add very little supplemental nutrients due to the soil mix used in the grow beds. Fruits and vegetables plants consume much more nutrients out of the water than the typical pond or bog plant. [/QUOTE]
