leave out buckets with tap water and pH it, if its too high(mine comes out 6.9 but i like 6.3-6.7 usually) so you can get pH down or lemon juice to lower it. leave it out for a day or two to get out the chlorine, boiling it or leaving it in the sun is a good idea. if shes almost dry just use spring water or distilled. i got home a few days ago but its been pouring everyday.

Nice advice, when it was raining in my area I had a clogged rain gutter that would flow heavily off the side. So I put a trash can under it and saved it, LOL. Should have been cleaned out but instead i used the clogged gutter to my advantage. After the rain, I just filled it up with city water (eww) and I had a pump laying around that I put at the bottom of the trash can to help circulate the water and I'd let it sit for a few days before using it because I didn't want the chlorides killing my mychorizae

haha i do the same thing, just stick the buckets under gutters. i keep out lots of buckets but if i add any tap water i wait and then pH, if its in the sun i think its better too.Nice advice, when it was raining in my area I had a clogged rain gutter that would flow heavily off the side.

maybe its stunted. usually there is a burst of veg growth at the start of flower. the "stretch."
i use rain water and de-humidifier water together. i add minerals.

Im not sure what your light schedule is like but here in Cali, I started my plants outdoors at a risky early march. Late april, early may-ish they started to flower so I had to add lights, which I think helped a little but eventually june they were all veg again and now weve passed our longest day of the year a week ago so its all down hill form here, meaning I guess that they'll start flowering when there ready and this time I will be too.
