[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8726108, member: 615398"] That might not be enough filtration. Something I noticed with Britas is that they seem to lower ph. I used test strips on my first grow, I would not recommend them, they are not accurate enough. You need something with a clear range between 5.5 and 6.5.
