I have well water thats treated so I don't give my plants that. I buy spring water, getting costly. Is setting up a rain barrel a good idea to collect water for my plants?

Yes, plants have been using rain water for millions of years, and depending on where you live, is very pure and without microbes and ideal for your plants.
Not sure where Bulbi lives, but if his rainwater is 5.5 and full of microbes, I would be staying far, far away from wherever he lives!
Hope this helps,............

hey there Zeadikuss, rain water and dirty water in general is great for plants. just remember : the pH of rain water is 5.5 , and careful you dont get undesirable microbes in there . To make sure try adding beneficial bacteria to your rain water, or bubble it for a few hours or up to a day. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Yes rain water would work perfect just remember to p.h your water and if using tap water allow 24 hours for chlorine to evaporate out

First grow- bonemeal timingHowdy folks!! This is my first grow & I’m planning on using bonemeal during flower, but I’m not sure when I should start using it or if I even need to? I make my own compost and things seem to be going great now, but not sure it’s enough through flower.

Has anyone tried Ethephon containing products such as Florel?I am gonna spray my hermies with this stuff that has Ethephon in it. Hopefully itll deter my herms from making pollen. I was wondering if anyone on here has it and if its effective for them? I'm only gonna try one or two at a time in case it hurts them. They're just herms anyways
