I'm doing hydroponics and I have not the budget nor the will to invest in reverse osmosis water.
So, I have this bubble bar - the cooler can pour either still or spark water. I noticed that sparkly water have aprx 230 ppm

Actually I have found this research made by University of Colorado;
https://lifehacker.com/water-plants-with-club-soda-to-make-them-grow-faster-an-1567061455
"Although it is a pricier option than tap water, watering plants with sparkling water may be one of the best-kept secrets to boosting plant growth. According to a 2002 study conducted at Colorado University Boulder, carbonated water makes plants grow faster and makes green plants grow greener. ...."
".... Sparkling water contains dissolved nutrients that are easily absorbed by the plants' root system. Nutrients in sparkling water may include magnesium, calcium, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, sulfur, phosphorus and potassium."

I wouldn't do that. If you have hard water just get hard water nutrients. It works well for people over 250ppm out of the sink. Just let the water sit out for 24 hours before use. That would be my suggestion. I had to do that before I moved to a better area with better water.

Is my Amnesia overwatered?I've been watering until completely dry with this Amnesia, but the leaves look a bit droopy. I've looked at other diaries of this strain and it looks normal but I was curious if anyone thinks I should pull back on watering even further.

Are we Twins? would we make a good couple? who are we lol?Essentially is the same nutrient correct? From my understanding, a PK booster is usually thrown in the middle of the flower cycle for about 2 - 3 wks. I've also noticed it rarely cut out. Can/would you mix the product lines? what weight differences have you seen with use?

How to water whole pot without soaking leaves and flowers?Made mistake of not filling soil to the top of my pot. Is now difficult to get my watering can in under the canopy to evenly water the whole pot. I could drench from above but is it bad for the plant to get nutes directly onto leaves and flowers. Any other tips for even watering?Feeding. Other
