Nutes before or after water teatment?
Hi all,
My hydro setup is one with a barrel that contains about 200L water. In the barrel is a small circulation pump that stirs te water and a aquarium heating element that keeps the water at the right Temp.
When i fill the barrel i mix my nutes in the water and set the ph right adding a tiny bit of acid. Then i leave it stirring for at least 24hours before using the mix. It takes about 5 days to empty it.
Now i was wondering should i treat the water before mixing it with the nutes or should i treat it when ferting?
I've got a mail from Dan Winters and here it is:
Here the qustion and answer:
Q: Gidday Dan I have just been reading about your Imploder, and I'm interested in purchasing one. A query I have is whether to use it to treat the water I'm using to mix my liquid fertilizer, or to use it in the application of the fert, or both?
A: the theoretical reason for increased sedimentation rate
is increase molecular spin density(washer uses spin cycle
to sort by mass..
the related
smaller molecular cluster sizes in the water
are better able to bring the nutrient to bio available cell absorbtion
(naturally - we are making more measurements to prove
the mechanism- we know we increased charge radiance
and decreased entropy --
in practice I think I would try adding the nutrient
to the imploded water just before application
we obviously need more testing to confirm which sequence is best..
in the bean plants- they seemed to eat the nutrient from the soil faster-
(speeded up metabolism is consistent with our field theory
meaning it is critical - nutrients needs to keep up..
but whether the nutrient should come before , after or with the
more spin dense water- is pretty much a guess..
I would think either way- the water should add useful solubility
making the nutrient more available

So according to Dan it doesn't make a big difference treating the water before or after the mix.
But i was wondering, if my mix is up to 5 days in the barrel, wouldn't it be better treating it just before watering the plants? Does the water loose it's revitalized state after a few days or not?
I'm def. gonna try the WVM.
Filling the barrel with treated water en when watering the plants tread it again or maybe I put an extra pump in my barrel and use Nevils setup and let my mix run through the WVM when i water the plants?
I guess putting it to the test will be the best way of getting answers.
