Should I filter my tap water?
rhodes68answered grow question 6y ago
Technically the purer the water the better but there is a point where the return on investment begins to die off.
If you can drink it fine so can the plant, that is the crux if it.
But just like you, the cleaner the better.
Now you will end up adding Silicon anyway so use tap, RO, rain water, long as you wouldnt mind drinking it its fine.

Hey gardener! If you let it sit for 24 hours, you'll get rid of the chlorine, so that's already a start for filtering. Don't bother filtering if your water is soft; you should have some chlorine and a few things like calcium and magnesium, but in small amounts. At the same time, if you can filter, why not? Good luck to you, bella ciao!

Best if you have osmosis water and mix the stale water for 24 hours (after 24 hours the chlorine has evaporated somewhat) to an Ec value of 0.2. Then add Cal / Mag until the Ec is 0.4. This is your source of water ;-)

Don't worry about it. Plants will thrive with or without filtered water. You can try magnetically treating your water. That is a completely different ball game ;) check my diaries and wait till the harvest comes

Confused about PPM and pre-amended soil and knowing which ppm to sart feeding.What should my ppm be when I began to start feeding nutrients? My soil has nutrients pre-amended for the first 3 weeks, it's been three weeks and it's 1800 (my tap water is 200). That seems pretty high for 3 weeks after the plants have been in the soil.
Thanks!Week 5

Nutes mixing order??I’ve just read that you have to add calmag before the micros. I wasn’t aware of this specific order. My plants have been struggling, is there a chance that because I’ve been adding calmag as the last before pH, this is the cause of my issues?? What other problems can this cause?

How can I improve horizontal growth? -first grow, not too much light, manual watering, no nutrients added yetHey,
I'm growing 2 Amnesia autos, they get around 6-7 hours direct sunlight and I help them out with two lightbulbs. I left them for 2-3 days with not enough light so they grew a lot vertically.
Do you have any tips to increase horizontal growth? (Besides buying better lights :D)
