Grow QuestionsShould I filter my tap water?

Should I filter my tap water?

DaRyzastarted grow question 5 years ago

Is it preferable to use filtered tap water over tap water that's been left out for 24 hours? Would it be worth running my tap water through a filtered jug? I live in a soft water area

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.

Salut le jardinier ! déjà si tu laisse reposer 24h tu te débarrasse du chlore alors c'est déjà un début de filtrage . ne t’embête pas a filtrer si ton eau est douce tu dois avoir du chlore et quelques trucs comme du calcium et du magnésium mais en petites quantités. en même temps si tu peux filtrer pourquoi pas . bonne chance a toi 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

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

We have decalcification machine. Should I add Calmag right from the start? How much? (Autoflower in mostly Biobizz Allmix)We have a decalcification machine (natrium based), so I have low magnesium/calcium. People say my soil is low in cal/mag. Should I add Biobizz Calmag on my first watering?(50% of recommendation for autos?) This one looks already droopy, doesn't it? Think I need to water soon.
