Tds of water is 490. Is that a problem.
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 4 years ago
Keep an eye on your plants but I think you'll be ok. You may have to adjust nutrients added so not to burn the plant. Play it by ear; If you spend a lot of time with her then that shouldn't be a problem. I know ground source water is always UVC blasted (or at least it should be) so you shouldn't have any harmful bacteria. You can get home devices that UVC your water as it comes in. Seen them with other more personal ground source water. It will lose calcium as it moves through pipes and collecting in certain areas. They are testing at the source and will be higher. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

My water comes from underground aquafers. The annual report actually had higher values. I will get done distilled water to test it against but the water is very hard even before the tds meter.

Its mostly magnesium and calcium in the water anyway. both beneficial to plant growth.

It really depends where your water comes from. 490 is quite high, but if you live in an mountainous area it may have lots of mineral and macro nutrients in it. Which would be beneficial. Make sure your meter is working properly by testing at different sites and using deionised water as a control as the TDS should be zero. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing.

Unless your talking nutrients water then that's acceptable

Anything over 300 is poor for drinking. You want between 50 & 150ppm. My guess is your meter needs to be calibrated.

Which single bloom supplement would I benefit from most?I’m considering purchasing something to boost my blooms. I’ve looked at koolbloom and big bud. I’ve used big bud in a commercial setting and got buds the size of my head, but can’t verify big bud did that. I’ve seen good results with just the GH trio too. Any input is appreciated

Watering question - Volume?Currently doing my 1st grow and had some watering questions. I see a lot online about when to water which seems pretty easy to understand but I have trouble finding the amount of water. Is it based on the size of the pot? or the size of the plant? or both maybe? How much?Week 1

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates

Does adding extra PK in an organic grow extend curing time ? Thanks !My friend that uses Biotabs nutrient as I do achieved a better taste than I did on our AMS Wedding cake seeds. Tastes a bit like mustard whereas his is tasty even though they were all dried just 2 weeks ago. My leaves were always dark green , Maybe adding PK wasn't necessary ?
