I use great white and the chlorine from fresh tap water kills all the helpful bacteria that i'm trying to add.

The best route in my case for the early stage is to use a carbon filter to get out the chlorine and not take out all the other good things in the water.

I now feel that if a person uses RO water they need to replace ALL micronutrients. And because mixes and ferts expect those micronutrients to be present in the water supply, the plants can show many different forms of stress, the most prevelent one Rating: 5
