K-Lite Testers: What do you grow, and have you made any observations?

All the other locations already grow perfect orchids. :wink:

Including the ones that never fertilize at all:wink::wink:

That's probably about what 90% of the rest of us experience.

I only know of a handful of places in the US that has tap water with tds as low as rain water.

I thought he said his rain water was as high or higher than the stored rain water (where as mine differs by a factor of 10).

Thanks for all the info everyone!

Rick, how would I know how much tap water to add? I'm going to goto my city hall and get the water readings/measurements.

I would look for a final Hardness of 20-40 ppm for your irrigation water. So if it you find that the tap water has a hardness of 100 then maybe try a 5:1 dilution.

Let me know what your tap water chemistry is and we'll play with it.
