If you can afford it the best thing to do is buy a reverse osmosis system High Tech Garden Supply This is just one example, you can probably find them cheaper on ebay. Do you have access to alot of rainwater? Whatever water you use just remember to bring the ph up or down to around 6.5 Baking soda works fine for up, Apple cider vinegar for down. They also sell ph up and down solutions but I like to stay as organic as possible. I also keep an 18 gallon rubbermaid tub full of water with a pump and airstone to keep the water bubbling and full of oxygen. I don't need ph up or down anymore because the bubbling makes my tap ph from 7.1 down to 6.4 -good enough for me. What kind of ph meter do you have? Be sure you are getting accurate readings.You know the gas station or store have water purifer is that ok
it use town water ?
Warpig... listen to this advice in your given situation and you will grow plants that look just like his.just get a ph meter or some ph strips then just adjust the waters ph as necessary. you can usually get BIG bottles of ph up or ph down for fish ponds about $10 a bottle at most pet shops (could be cheaper other places but thats all i have around me in this little redneck town and i needed it like right then)
whats that supposed to mean? im confused was that a compliment or an insult. lolWarpig... listen to this advice in your given situation and you will grow plants that look just like his.

hey snuff.....under 30 post and you seem to know your shit. where did you learn??? is this your first online cannabis growing home or was there another before this one?You should be able to tell sex on most strains by 3 weeks veg. Look at the 4th or 5th node with a magnifying glass and look for the male and female preflowers. They will often double or triple in height when flowering so figure out how tall you want them to finish at and flower accordingly.
I dont know why someone would tell you to put your light 12 inches from the plants when you already said the temps were at 80 from 3 feet away. And MH run hotter than HPS. 12 inches is a perfect distance, but your temps have to be right. Go by the temp at the top of the plants. Keep a fan blowing between the plant tops and the light, especially if you dont have a vented hood. Everyones growing environment is different.People should give advice accordingly and stop finding it so easy to help hurt someones garden by lack of diligent questioning. Snuff
