You can check online for your local Water Quality Report for your local municipality. It will tell you what's in the water that's coming out of your tap. Info like...what it's ph is, it's alkalinity and carbonate hardness, as well as what they use to kill bacteria. (yes, higher levels of chlorine and chlorine compounds can and will kill the beneficials in your soil) And assuming all water reports are guilty of misrepresentation just because a few were caught cooking the books...is a fairly paranoid approach.

Paying attention to what is in your drinking water is likely a good practice...but I'm not all that certain the fears of a little chlorine justify an all-anal approach, nor does it justify hefting gallons of water (more costly than gasoline in some cases) home for plants and self every week. Most bottled water(s) are from local tapwater, and their filtering techniques have been put into doubt just the same as the occational fudging of numbers for muni water. Same with those kiosks, where you insert a quarter and cross your fingers that the filters have been changed in the past couple of years. Nothing more than a false sense of security. If you can afford a quality R/O set-up, and if you can actually afford the replacement cartridges every year, perhaps it's at that time you'll find out...it wasn't the chlorine 'mishandling' your ladies after all. :wtf:
Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on . CHLORINE OVERDOSE I grow pot every year since I was 14, now I am 50, and I love to grow plant of all kinds. they all look nice. green and healthy. a lot of people that I know that grow ask me to look at there plants, and I tell them I am not a botanist, but I will look, and most of the problem originates from the same place, the tap water they are using. if you are using water strait out of the tap "STOP". first off it can causes lockout. it creates a very deceptive looking deficiency. purple in stems and Rating: 5
