stutch Seeds went into water on 16.07, then into the Root Riot on 18.07. Everything so far has been with osmosis water, this time I'm using Peter's Combi Sol with calcium nitrate and Epsom salt + hydrogen peroxide as fertilizer.

stutch Root Riots ftw, the plant is growing and looks healthy. Mixing nutrients is relatively easy, thanks to dry fertilizers. Water comes out at 5.6-5.8 right after mixing without pH correction and slowly rises to 6.0. I should have bought the reverse osmosis system much earlier, thanks @ggb420. Best person!

stutch The second week is going relatively uneventfully. The osmosis water has caused very few problems so far, and the pH level is very stable. The large leaves are slightly curled, probably a bit too much heat for the plant. The light distance has been slightly increased, and it should get better again now :)

stutch Even though the plant looks great, I had some concerns this week. Input EC according to my meter was about 2.4, but the drain EC was at 3.3-3.4. Since input should equal output +/- 0.3, I flushed with Terra Aquatica FlashClean for a day to wash out some salts from the substrate. After that, everything was fine, and I filled the Autopot reservoir on 06.08. I tested it by letting the tray fill up and then closed off the inflow to see how long it takes for the plant to suck it dry.
