Is rain water a good source of water?

RatmanJRstarted grow question 6y ago

Would rain water be a good source of water for indoor plants? I have always ph’d tap water; however, I have two rain tanks that I use for my outdoor tomato garden and was curious if rain water works well with cannabis. My tomatoes love it.

Rain water is the best. The ph is lower than tap water. 👍

Increase nutrition?Should I up the nutes? I’ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. I’ve read that after first week of 1/4 up it to 1/2, but from what I can see (foliage pic added) everything looks like it’s quite healthy. Will plant benefit with more or should I stay as I am? Cheers
