Distilled water for calibration is a must because you need 0 Ppm water and it has a neutral ph.. it's how the Calibration fluid works. Plain old tap water can be great for plants depending on where you live, not all water that comes from taps is the same.

Please anyone reading this.. Research bleach before putting that stuff in your water... Not a good idea..

IMO, if you are using tap water, be careful about your cal-mag nutes.
I would only do 50% strength, until you see how your plants are doing.

As for water for plants/calib , best is distilled. To adjust your PH with tap water.
Lemon for PH down. 1/4 slice will drop 1 gallon by 1.5 points.
Bleach for PH up. 1/2 teaspoon will raise up by 1.5 per gallon.
Hope that helps you.

Hi Hardcunt12, i use tap water and let it breath for 24h so all additives in the water can dissipate/evaporate. After adding the nuts measure the ph level and correct it if necessary. Hope it helps you. #420

any other feeding recommendations?For my next grow I'm gonna do something very similar. I used Canna A+B, with about 8 feeds of PK and a little Cannazym. Does anyone know what else I could use to supplement the feeding, preferably from Canna? My main issue is the tightness of buds, but probs insufficient lightingWeek 22

Bruce Banner specific needsI was wondering what specific needs does the Bruce Banner #3 strain needs for climate and nutrients, grow calendar and training techniques but my grow space is small : 60 x 40 cm. (23 x 15 inches) so I should probably go for a sog, big bud or lollypopping. ThanksSetup. Strains - Photoperiod

Can I combine treatments into one?My question is pretty simple. I wanted to give my plants a light foliar treatment and also wanted to include some neem oil. Is it OK to mix the two together or should I do it separately? I'm sure it's likely fine to mix them, but didn't want to take a chance. Thanks for helping!Leaves. Other

PH measuring for Organic GrowersIf I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
