Should I switch to well water?
izzy89started grow question 2 years ago
I use tap water. For our normal flower/vegetable garden we use well water. I measured the EC/PPM of both.
Tap: 0.5 mS/cm (=320 ppm), we live in an area with soft tapwater according to Water Agency (11°F-13°F max)
Well: 0.32 (=205 ppm) -> how do I interpret this for well water?

I use well water myself,,,and your ppm is less with your well, less dissolved solids, usually is better, my humble opinion

Never take grow advice from stoners.
You need to know the analysis of the water to make any sense of the tds. Contact the water agency to know whats in your water.

The PPM is lower for well water. Does this mean I have to add CalMag?
But it could contain more iron or other stuff?

Water and nutrientsI water every other day. So far I have been using nutrients to bring my water up to the proper EC (ppm). It is always a VERY small amount (1/2 tsp). I haven't noticed any signs of toxicity but I wanted to hear your opinion of my approach and changes that I could/should make

How much water can I give?Hey everyone,
I have a question. What is the maximum amount of water I can give the plants?
I'm in week 6, giving 1.5 litres every 2 days and they always seems thirsty the day after water. Can I go up and give them 2 litres and then in two weeks can I go up to 3l? If no, why?

"dunking" fabric pots in solution for feeding?I have recently been presented with the concept of "dipping": submerging fabric pot in solution for about 8 seconds and then picking up to drain. It is intriguing to me but I am curious about it causing overwatering or root rot. Thoughts?2 years ago

Measured EC and burned leavesI defoliated my plants yesterday and i gave them some plain water (corrected to ph 6,5) …. I took 5 plants which are about to be harvested and measured the EC: it’s between 0,88 Ms and 1,17 Ms…. Quite low but plants aren’t burned that’s strange ! What do you think it’s happening?

Plant health assessment (Leaf coloring and nutrition help)Sorry for bombarding you guys with questions, but it's getting serious now, right?
Anyway, my leaves are getting funky colors and I do wonder, what is causing this?
Is this normal? I have used the bloom nutes as in my diary once this week, rest was distilled watering.

Plain water between a few feeds? Smaller doses? (To prevent nutrient burn)So I was wondering (medium is light-mix from Plagron): I've been feeding a full dose of nutes every watering up until now. Would ya'll recommend giving plain water in between every few feeds, or dosing down to be cautious? I don't want to be too late... That happened last grow.Week 7
