What kind of water to use
Yeah, with the tap water out here I can SMELL it let alone give it to my plants. (It's disgusting!)
I have the best luck with anything labeled "spring water", BUT - I have a PH pen and after mixing my nutrients with the water, I get the PH to 6.5 using baking soda (to raise) or PH down (to lower).
I found Arrowhead to lock out nutrients without balancing the PH.
I found the local wal-mart gallons of spring water to be perfect during veg, but I still had to balance the PH a tiny bit to make it a perfect 6.5.
I don't use RO water because the process takes everything out of the water, good and bad. A lot of people use it, all you have to do is add a product named calmag plus into the water.
I believe that PH is the key to everything, get a pen if you can - it ran me 40 bucks at the local hydro store.
Hope this helps in any way!The Grim Reefer Reviewed by The Grim Reefer on . What kind of water to use I read a thread that said not to use tap water? What kind of water is good then, deep park? haha.. I'm not sure if they were ok. Someone just let me know. So Im sure. Rating: 5
