    Another water quality thread

    Sure Ray but you never know that person could still be on ST. Of course I trust your insight as well. I would buy your RO in a hot minute IF my State (CA) wasn't in a severe drought. I have rain water barrels which I use but I suspect the water has considerable sodium and isn't the best...

    Another water quality thread

    Hey SF, Did you eventually find that this helped? Are your leaves directly more glossy because of watering with better water? Best, Russ

    Light

    The lux app is solid. It takes nearly the exact same readings as my light meter specific device LX1330B from Dr. Meter. That meter isn't the highest quality of a meter one can get but 75% of users give it 5 stars and there are over 2,000 reviews.

    Soaking before fertilizing?

    Dustin from the herebutnot.com blog and YouTube channel grows incredible plants indoors with about 20 to 30 percent humidity. He soaks with fertilizer first (say water + fertilizer is around 600ppm) and then rinses with tap water (say over 200ppm). He stated that if he didn't rinse the PH will...

    Rust orange spotted flecks on leaves

    Brucher my apologies for responding so late to your thorough and much-appreciated response. After a full year of additional experience, I agree with nearly all of the conjectures you have mentioned. First the salt content and fertilizer. Essentially before getting a TDS meter I was using water...

    Need Paphiopedilum book for conservation research.

    You're intentions seem genuine and I wish you the very best. You are probably making a bigger contribution to the hobby, and more importantly to nature more than any of us. Sure we could all keep the genetics intact but the plants need to have a home in the jungle and frankly Borneo holds such a...
