Good info thanks! I've been using our tap water, but only after it's been sitting in an uncapped gallon jug for 24-48 hrs (heard that kills of any toxins). I'm in the middle of my 3rd grow now, and no issues, plants look healthy and always have. I always adjust the ph to <6.5 but that's it, as I don't have the other meters you mention. My question is, can the ppm be adjusted like ph, and if so how? I appreciate any info you can provide. Thank you! Going to shop for the other meters now.
How about zero water from a car washing resin filtration filtration system, like a spotless water system unit. It comes out at 0 ppm TDS, PH around 7 easily adjusted and 0 EC. I switched to this a while back and no issues so far. I have high alkaline water in my well like at 180, this reduces to zero and PH is at 8. Controlling PH was reduced to 1/3. Anybody got anything on this ?
I was going to use distilled but what i can purchase in my area is always 8.0 or a bit higher on the PH, which honestly confused me as i thought it would be really low instead of really high. Due to that i use a regionally sourced spring water purchased at my local grocery store because it is always around 6.0-6.2 PH.
You are 100% wrong about bacteria helping your plants grow. I'm a worm farmer and I'm telling you right now that's all I use is live bacteria to grow my plants. I have a symbiosis in my dirt between fungi bacteria and microorganisms. All I do is water my plants I have way higher THC levels than way higher cannabinoid levels than you would ever get with store-bought nutrients. I use tap water but I test it for pH and I let it set out two to three days before I even use it. If I can give anyone that's trying to start growing advice it is to talk to your local worm farmer. He will set you up with an organic way of growing if he knows anything about it.
Best way to improve growing your cannabis is to improve the water quality! Check out this video.
Can you use a Grey well for watering?
Maybe lol

"Hey Gary, i went to Heaven and got water from God, is that good to grow plants?"
"Well..maybe"
i filter my water using zero water pitcher
how could you NOT mention that ro water produces 3+ times more waste water than it does usable water?
RO water is the worst water you can water your plants with specially organic growing

Distilled water 7.0
Never use condensate water. Rain distilled ro is best . Any water will work but have different ppm…

If the stuff in municipal water is hard on plants, what do you think it doing to YOUR body? Just sayin’
I use plain tap water, rain water, and tap water ph down for best variance in my soil
Growing weed is federally illegal so you're in term of definition supporting illegal activity
Thank you Gary, very useful.
This is the vid ive been looking for, for ages now.
Great content very educational for people who don't know their water thank you.

Thanks great video, I have been using distilled water for my grow and I don't mind paying for it knowing that it's good for my plants!
What about using tap but leaving it siting with air stone for a couple of days?
