How do you remove chloramines from water?
Chloramines are best removed from water by catalytic carbon filtration. Catalytic carbon, activated carbon with an enhanced capacity for contaminant removal, is one of the few filtration media that can successfully reduce chloramines from drinking water. Carbon filters, the industry standard for chlorine removal, is an ineffective chloramine filter. The stability of chloramines, the quality which makes them such a powerful disinfectant, also makes them so difficult to remove. The amount of contact time required for activated carbon to cause any significant reduction in chloramines is so long it makes it entirely impractical. It would reduce flow rates drastically and no house could feasibly use a carbon filter to remove chloramines and maintain usable water pressure and flow.
 
Well that smell goes away over night. Chlorine.
And iv been using my tap for decades.
I must be in a good area. Because even my water test are fine on my tap. Essp when filtered.
Anyhow. I’m not looking for an argument. I’m not debating anything. Just saying shit stinks so I let it sit till it doesn’t.
And I still use it. And nothing wrong. That’s all.
 
Well a lot of good guesses here but I think everyone missed the most basic thing. You can’t expect organic dry nutrients to feed the plant without Proper biology, which comes from compost - high quality earth worm castings is best. 1/3 of you base soil should be casting/compost. Then your Dry amendments might stand a change of feeding the plant.

sont get caught upin small details when you haven’t covered the bases yet. Also 3 gallon pots might work for bottle fed grows but you’d be better off in a 5 or 7 with proper base soil. Organics can’t be half assed, the wheel has already been invented. Why try to change it?

Good guesses? He already said he was using distilled water

Yeah this distilled water use is as crazy as those “ growers “ spoon feeding bottled spring water ( alkaline ph ) to their plants. Give your plants TAP - you water EVERYTHING else with it .

Believe it or not plants actually need some chlorine as part of their grow.

What ever else is going on, 45% humidity and 80f is kicking them when they are down. At 60% rh those leaves would not have took near as much damage, as they would be able to pull some moisture from the air, rather than being forced to double dip in soil that is clearly toxic. There is no point worrying about the potential of bud rot until you actually have buds big enough to rot. Low rh and high temps also dry out the medium too fast, and your watering may not keep up, that comes with a boat load of other issues, in any medium.
