The ppm of my tap water is 227. Is that bad for growing in soil? i had a conversation with a friend and he said that anything over 200 ppm tap water shouldn't be used for growing. Is there any truth to this statement?

thanks.

Get the water report online. It will break down what makes up that 200. If it's mostly calcium go for it.

The only water I've ever seen kill cannabis came from a patient's tap at an EC of 1.6. It didn't actually kill them. It just tortured them.

I'm only a few weeks in on my first grow using well water with a ppm of 270 to 300. Varies from time to time. Plants all look good

I drink it, cook with it. Water my garden with it, never any issues. All my animals drink it as well. Tastes better then any bottled water I have ever had. Ph on it averages about 6.6 to 6.8.

No bad smell to it, put in a bottle or glass just as crystal clear as can be.

Should add I do not have a water softener or any filtration system for it. Literally well to tap.
