I'm pretty sure the answer is blatantly obvious but, if you water soil with a regular garden waterer, does it oxygenate it enough?

Depends on how much the can cascades the water...my watering can just sends it out in a single stream so it doesn't really do any oxygenating...when I put the water I use to water with in a bucket it gets sprayed in from a hose that oxygenates the shit out of it straight from the tap

Mine is the the kind with the head on the end that diffuses the water, but I just realized I still have my DWC setup from last year, so I'll just oxygenate it anyways.

massah they asked for the chemical formula because I have a program that can measure precisely how many chemicals you need and if you know all the chemical elements that plants need my genius otrkitie I made ​​the best formula of all I would say how many precisely placed in each moment.dano me understand what I say.

Your program is wrong and will never be precise, you want to know why? YOU ARE GROWING A FUCKING PLANT...it doesn't take a genius or doctorate in botany to realize, ITS A FUCKING PLANT...it takes what it takes, no matter how much you fuck around with a computer program to figure out the "precise chemical formula" it's not going to make a marijuana plant grow perfectly, because a computer program doesn't know what strain you are using, what research has been done to maximize the yield of that strain, what it actually uptakes optimally for nutrients, etc...

So...wtf are you trying to tell me?

I think something very quietly angry. I'm not the program I invented it! and I think that makes no sense to argue with you. you're right.

Please have a friend translate into better english what you are trying to say...the grammar you are using is not understandable.

I have this RO sys and it works flawlessly! Cheapest one that puts out that much RO water a day and it works! Not some cheap e-bay one! This one is desighned for hydro use and I would highly reccomend it! I use mine to fill up a 16 gallon tub then I PH the water and fill up my gallon jugs. Mounted it right to my wall and have never had a problem with it! When you are growing anywhere from 25-30 plants you will go through some fucking water! It does add up and my town doesn't have ANY RO stations in front of stores, just spring water.

Mr Clean car wash kit! It really works great! It brought my tap water which started around 600 ppm down to 8 ppm.
If your tap water sucks and your broke, I suggest getting one of these until you get an RO unit.

There isn't a level of PPM for tap water i would say is bad but it really depends on what is making up those PPMs that could harm your plants IMO.

the water where i live comes out at 480ppm and its VERY hard (lots of calcium and mg), BUT i still hit great numbers. You can get a water analysis from your water company and that will tell you what is in your water. but i would at least try it first and save yourself the money. if you start seeing problems, then investigate a little and see if an RO sys will do the job. I got an RO now and will say that things just seem to be all around improved, but by no means was it the magic sauce that all the sudden made my yield double (that would have been awesome though).

When i ran a flood table I used Water Out of the tap coming in about 250 ppm

No problems
