Irrigation tap water
SisloVislostarted grow question 4y ago
I only have access to tap water ppm 280, will it be suitable for irrigation with BIOCANNA organic fertilizers? It tastes harsher than 60 ppm drinking water and ppm1 distilled water.

just some anecdotal evidence to make you feel better about it -- I live in a region with very hard water. Even with a pretty advanced city water filtration setup, it's 250-300ppm easily if not higher. This is a potential problem, but you should feel fairly safe.
at worst you make some small adjustment due to an extra ppm of Ca already in your water etc..

low pH problemsI discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days.
yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?6y ago

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHEHi everyone,
I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black.
I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation.

Recharge vs Great whiteI'm currently debating real growers recharge and great white. I'm using recharge but am curious if great white is a better product, or can they be used in conjunction? The interwide googly web doesn't seem to have a direct answer maybe I have just over looked it. Happy GardeningWeek 3
