We have to buy our R.O. so, after noticing that our well water had an EC of 0.3 we decided to give it a try. Well, let's just say that starting with an EC of Zero is much easier in the long run, as we've been chasing the EC & pH from the get-go. So our question to the community is if you use an R.O. system, what kind do you use?

We certainly have been challenged in keeping up with life during the busy season, much less this community. We're back on track now and have made a healthy decision about snacking --- LETTUCE straight off of our 2 tower gardens. Now, each time we walk by we snag a piece of lettuce and tell the plant, "Thank You!" A practice we highly recommend.

We had such great success with lettuce, kale, swiss chard, and basil we decided to branch out. A friend of ours LOVES mustard greens, so we bought 4 seedlings of 3 different varieties. These have kept us on our toes, as their needs are higher than the other grows. Ups & downs of both pH & EC and more top-offs. We've been giving away sprigs of all the greens as they've grown, but now we're going to harvest the "Ruby Streaks". Here's a picture of the greens and their roots (which are a pink tinge, just like the plant). When you bite into a fresh sprig of it, the taste is similar to wasabi.

Hello SOH Community. What does everyone wear to protect their eyes while working around their grow lights?
