hello everyone..i m new here and new to growing...only a year or so....here s my problem maybe someone can help:
i m in deep water culture..3 big bang and one vanilla kush

living in sub tropical climate..so very hot and humid here...i have 2 water chiller for my tank and air con always on...water at 22 and room at 26

the problem is with my water i think...when i buy it, those 5 gallons bottle, ppm is 143 and ph 7.3

by the time i ph the water down, my ppm is 350
so if i get it, the solution to ph down does contain element, so ppm rise.....my question is: the plant doesnt need those element, right?? or does those element can still do nut burn?
 
to high ppm of water, no telling what minerals are in there, get yourself some rain water or a filter to clean your tap water
