You really don’t wanna use soft water that’s had water softener additives. I use tap, as long as you don’t have a ton of minerals that push your EC over .3 or so you’re fine. Mine is .2 out the tap, and that’s fine.

I use tap water. I used to use RO filter but I have a lot less deficiencies using plain old faucet water. My water comes out of the tap at around 120ppm and a high ph of 8+

My tent is 32"x32"x63". I've only ever done one plant at a time. This time I am attempting to share the tent with a hydroponic grow in a 5-gallon bucket. I normally grow soil in a 5-gallon smart pot. Should I use a 3-gallon instead? Last grow the 1 hydro filled the tent.
