I couldn't fix my tap water, it's way too hard and alkaline, so I've started collecting rainwater off the roof. It has a ppm of 25, and with the addition of cal-mag, the ladies absolutely love it.
I wanted bad to be able to use my tap water, but in retrospect, I can now see why I had some of the problems I had in past grows when I was using it, even in soil.
It's around 250ppm, mostly calcium, and even soil can't buffer it well.
If I was growing on a larger scale, I'd set up a more professional rainwater collection system with maybe an underground tank, but for now, a couple of rain barrels will hold enough until the next rainy season.
I prefer using rainwater to RO or distilled. It has some nitrogen in it, and my plants just seem to respond best to it, but RO with cal-mag works great too.
I still wish I could use tap, because it keeps things simple, but the rain barrels will be just as easy and simple once I get them set up on cinder blocks so the spigots are off the ground high enough to put a bucket under them.
Cities usually publish an annual water quality report with all the numbers.
Just google your city and "water quality report" and you should come up with something.
what should i look for mainly in the chart?
thanks guys! I guess to the hardware store IB !! i needed to go their today anyways for grow supply's. are the test kits allot of money?
HD has pool test kit/strips on sale for 10 bucks. That will tell you the Total Alkalinity... the pH part is pretty bogus. If your TA is under 80, I'd use that water.
I've got well water, but our town water has a pH over 9, but it sounds like the nute co. has that factored, somehow???
you want to look for sodium, calcium, magnesium, and total alkalinity. My city reports the numbers as a range of min/max, and an average, but since they source our water from more than one source and blend them in different ratios throughout the year, the water report is meaningless and so are the results from using a test kit.
The numbers I get today may not be what I get tomorrow, so first find out where your city sources its tap water and how consistent it is.
I've been using the liquid Maxicrop, and the label says two capfuls per gallon of water once weekly.
A capful is about 2.5 Tbsp.
I usually use it at 1/2 strength, so only use one capful per gallon.
Not sure we got exactly the same stuff though, so be careful.

Eso es Una Buena foto!well, then I would just keep on truckin' on
mi casa es su casa, pero mi agua no es su agua
seaweed question
on the Maxicorp package they say 1 oz to a gallon of water. I believe you guys mentioned 1 tablespoon to a gallon. why the difference ? or did I miss read what somewhat wrote
