Rain water vs. tap water
GrowCNanswered grow question 3 years ago
It depends on your tap water. My water comes from a well and has some magnesium and calcium so it's actually better then rainwater since I don't need to add calmag. If you have city water I'd say rainwater is better. The tap water from my local town has a very high pH and chlorine & chloramines.
Organomananswered grow question 3 years ago
Rain water is more pure and plant friendly than tap water, so I would use that.
Tap water is fine with no real advantages or disadvantages that I could pick between either water supply during my grows in the past, so using either won't cause any major issues or benefits, but since plants have been growing with rain water for ever, using it would be the logical choice.
Hope this helps,........

Tap water isn’t good unless you leave it setting out for 24-48hrs due to the level of chlorine in it will kill beneficial bacteria. Rain water is idea because it is slightly acidic and your ladies will love it. Only part is collecting it. Happy Growing!!!

Roots showingI'm in a pickle. I just lst'd and flushed this little one, picked her up and notice those little tips. How long can it survive in this planter? I really don't want to transplant into a bigger pot. Could I just tape it off 😂 till the stem stiffs up and soil dries?
