Water vs Nutrients
Noelastarted grow question 5 years ago
I eventually would like to start adding nutrients to her feedings and wanted to know does it matter what type of water the nutrients are added to, for example: distilled, tap, RO? Or is it just the pH of the water that is important?

Distilled and RO water are nutrients free , no cal mag inside while tape water is providing some cal mag.
So PH & EC/PPM May be different with distilled and RO and the tape water will have an higher ph.
That said it’s the ph that is important except if you have a hard water because in that case the water use super charged in cal mag so you can add way less
MisterSixanswered grow question 5 years ago
yeah you can use RO distilled or tap. Just make sure the ppm of your water is not too high over 150ppm.
if you use RO you might consider to add light dose of cal mag since it's have little mineral in it.
and PH from 6.3-6.8 for the best result. happy growing

How do stop or slow down coco coir pH from rising?I'm struggling to keep the pH of my coco coir/pumice mix from rising. I always use ph down to get nutrient going in at 5.5, and the run off water is always 6.5+, and leaves start yellowing/dying when pH reaches 6.8.
It doesn't swing, always up.
