My best thing: Blue Mountain Organic tonics.

I use either local river water, fish tank water, or spring water and my plants seem to do very well with it. I live in the mountians though so all these types of water are easy for me to come by, that being said I would still buy spring water unless I just had to large of a grow to support it cost wise. Even if it does not adversely affect the plants growth, there is no need for those chemicals so why bother messing with them?

luckily where i'm at in sunny Florida the tap water is pretty clean...i've done tests on plants with distilled, spring and tap and noticed no difference whatsoever...i run organic soil and nutes, so i just flush a couple times towards the end with molasses and the taste of my buds is always sweet and delicious! :weed:

some city water systems use a different kind of chlorine. It won't evap out like reg chlorine. thats why RO and reverse osmosis are preferred, if possible. start with water less than ideal and the rest of the grow will follow down to growers hell of less than expected results.

I drink tap water all the time, where i am from the tap is good, ppm are low.
i always thought that chlorine evaporated after sometime, which is most likely the case but its the new compound chloramine that is the subject to talk about
i have been meaning to contact the municipality about the contents of the water
if chloramine has replaced chlorine, then i imagine it would be useless to allow the water to sit for 23 1/2 hours.
yes i am currently organic, im giving it a whirl, and the chloramine is toxic to the microbes that i spent so much money on. it would be pointless to put them in if im going to kill them with the water.
either way you grow it could not hurt, and the units are not that expensive. I just dont want to watch a fucking trickle of water come out the spout while trying to fill a 50 gallon rez

What about those additives that you add to your water that removes the chlorine and chloramines? You can get it from pet stores that have fish supplies. It's suppose to keep fish water healthy and I have been told to use it to remove the junk from my tap water. Whats you guys opinion on this?

its extra work ,but you just keep track of each batch and week that they are in. you already know how to feed them accordingly, do you follow a feeding scheduale

The best thing is to get your soil correctly balanced. If this one thing is not done, you'll be fighting problems the entire grow. if done correctly, you can practically walk away from them, they will grow themselves. Outdoor grows of course. :peace:


out. :blsmoke:

Can't believe no one has said this yet, but Advanced Nutrients BIG BUD works wonders for me. As does Molasses. I would say those two are a phenomenal combination.

I used An old gallon and pvc pipe svstem to collect rain water in a big container and I mixed the rain water with Mirical Grow foliage fert. and added 1 1/4 tbs epson salt to the water, finaly I trimed the plant and let the leaves soak in the water till the turned brown and straind it. It solved the MG problem, the leaves are big bright and green, and I had I dieng cronic plant and it REVIVED IT! Nature can be amazing to weed. :bigjoint:

I think the best thing is proper ventilation, keep the air flowing and you will get good results.

I don't think I'm down with RO water unless you have bad water, you end up with pure water, nothing in it at all to help the plants, you have to add fertilizer to it or you won't get very good results, not that isn't what we all do anyway. I'm still not convinced perfectly pure water is the way to go.

atami bloombastic last six weeks of flower, ive seen 40-50% increase in harvest weight, i stopped running co2 because of it. easy to control without running co2, plus results are about .75 grams a watt, so im pretty happy. Pretty expensive tho, 220 bucks a bottle, but im happy with the results.

ps, run temps a little higher when using bloombastic, transpiration really shouldnt slow down.

Cool, thanks for agreeing with me, I thought I might be the only one in the world to think that way about RO water.
