Best water to use for growing

[aridbud]

Now this is where it gets interesting, I've been thinking a lot about how I adapt to the characteristics of the strain, do certain strains require less or more RO water?

Growing them will be the way to know......environment plays into it as well. JUST GROW!

What RO water does is (when < 30ppm) it allows the grower to provide a better balanced nutrient profile. Different strains have different nutrient needs

I have 2 similar phenos of same seed stock feeding from one rez. One plant finished 5 days sooner

I try to use the wettest water I can get.

The wettest water comes from vortexing and structuring it. So a YT search

How do you go about structuring it and vortexing it? Via Scotty's proton tractor beam.

On the same keyboard you used to type your question load it into youtube

I like H2O2 with a acidiic-neutral pH. 7ish. Though if you're worrying about pH and what not your soil pH and a lot of other crap comes into play(dont quote me).

Maybe add some molasses for a little sweetness/vitamins. Compost tea from healthy compost is another good idea.


I'm glad we have active moderators on here.

You sure you meant H2O2? Cause that is hydrogen peroxide and will never have a 7ish PH level. And I wouldn't water my plants with that.

I often use peroxide in my hydro Rez at 4 ml/gal to sterilize it. Very useful for fighting root rot etc...

I like to gargle with it.

I have had a 55 gallon barrel tied into my rain gutter for years now.
I have a air pump blowing bubbles into it.
Every now and then I throw a mosquito dunk into it.
When I use it I add a touch of yucca to make it WETTER!
Heh heh heh

Unfortunately, in some states, it's illegal to collect rain water…

 

[HerBnGorE(illa)]

Any thoughts on distilled water??? For hydro or soil?

I've heard that the depleted RO water will strip away the minerals of your soil...

didnt know that, im in the UK - we got plenty of rain to go round

Just a splash of kelp extract can keep that from being a concern.
I'm not sure it is even a problem but plants like the kelp + water better in my experience.

After a little more thought, if you don't water to run off, where would the minerals go?
I'm back to not worrying about that.
