Wasn’t sure where to put this, but anyways I just ordered an RO system. According to the epa you should put your nutrient solution into an RO system to clean it. Since I’m on a well I figured it’d be good to help with water use to why not recycle that water into the next nutrient solution change. This ones a 1:1 filter to waste So my question is how do you get the nutrient solution into an RO system?

Hi guys, This is my first grow in water. I have not expected it to be such a blast. In the same space I can usually grow 6, may be 8 in soil. However I could only go with 4 buckets DWC and it seems it was a right decision. Look at them there is no space left at all.
