what is the best way to find out what kind of shape your tap water is in?? I get the yearly water report from the area I live in but it doesnt make a bit of sence to me whatsoever.


I hear that!......and on top of that if you pay for an expensive water analysis, what information do you compare that to.

I went to the water district requesting more information under the guise of wanting more information to make â??home brewâ?ť. They couldnâ??t provide any more info than that yearly report. But if they hadâ?¦Iâ??d be in the same boat as youâ?¦.what to do with it. They did say that they used chlorine (not chloramines) thatâ??s helpful as far as determining the duration of the effect. My water report doesnâ??t even mention Calcium or Magnesium.

Unless you school yourself not only in water analysisâ?¦.but what your own grow requirements are, I guess all you can do is let the grow tell you.

I did copy this quote from Weedhoundâ?¦..

Interestingly.....according to my hydro man.....its VERY hard to OD on CalMag. If your leaves are going all dark and curly that just plain sounds like overnute to me. I sat down the other day and had a fair discussion on the use of CalMag with my hydro guy.....i'll be using it MORE these days instead of less. Just a thought I'm tossing in.....

Now Lucas thinks that GH Flora 3-part supplies all the cal/mag that youâ??re gonna need. (and he doesnâ??t do change-outs) In fairness though he does continue to add Micro and Bloom in top-offs.
But Latewood (who refreshes more often) adds Calmag+ to replace the Calcium â??used up in the 3-partâ?ť.
Seems conflicting to me.

To sum it upâ?¦..Hell if I know! I suppose that your grow will speak to youâ?¦.Jus gotta listen.

With luck some water specialist type will school us both.
