Hey man, That will be alot of cost going forward for you using purified water for this instance I would strongly advise looking into RO filters or reverse ozmosis. This will probably be the best option for you if you want to go down that route though I would personally grow a plant using your tap water as a test and seeing what happens it may have a very little effect if any. RO filters last quite a while and are around 80 bucks I think though smash it in ebay and have a butchers for yourself boss :) Best of luck. Another option you have are water purifying tablets these are widely avaiable and cheap to use just find one thats for plants and you will be fine :)

Do you use a dehumidifier or tumble drier for clothes?
The condensed water that comes out of them is fairly pure, around 40ppm for me. If you have them, you could dilute your tap water with it to bring the contaminant levels down.
Just an idea as an alternative to RO water as that is expensive. Hope you figure out a decent solution my friend 😉

White hairs on seedHello growers!
I started germinating my White Widow seeds 3 days ago and there is some kind of white hairs growing from it but the seed is not cracked and there is no root yet.
Why is this happening exactly? Should I worry?

Woke up feeling hungover (was not drinking), plant is dead. Fuckin plant murder mystery. I am the main suspect. Howdunnit. Pls help.Looked grow tent and saw one of my plants is pretty much gone. Only real change is I'd given it a little fish + guano fertilizer and gave it a light spray with neem oil. Live in a small apt and left the windows closed overnight due to weather. Pics are a single day apart. Ideas?

Plants seem to be lacking apical dominance...?Wondering if anyone else has encountered plants that have never had apical dominance? I have two plants plants from different strains (that I am pretty damn sure I didn't mix up), both of which have split off into two separate vertical stalks off of the main trunk w/o topping.

What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?

Space..Not enough space. I havent got experience with autoflowers, they are bigger then i expected, with so many tops. Is better to take smallest one (verry short pheno-left Down corner)away for better yields per plant? Or is it still OK? Thank you and sorry for my english. ✌️

Name my babiesI have 2 GDP plants and began a new diary. I want it to be informative, but don't want to refer to them as 1 and 2. I'm a fan of sci-fi and anything nerdy or clever. Recommendations?
