Himalayan sea salt can add back some beneficial TDS for drinking

For drinking? Who drinks water ;)

I had to jump into a journal of a guy who was adding salt to his nute water for added minerals to gently tell him that salt is a known plant killer.

Doesn't matter what your medium is. And if it's straight chlorine, let it stand 48 hours before you use it. Chlorine evaporates pretty quickly, chloramine almost never.

It's both to my knowledge. Town water. I smell like I've been at the pool after a shower. Never mind all the rust and fun.

Well...the chlorine will evaporate and I haven't had any issues with the chloramine in my water and my plants (LA switched over in 2014).

Oh I would never bet that! She hands me a 20 when my wallet is empty so she's always carrying more than I am. Anyway, I almost never spend any cash and if I'm broke it's because I gave money to my son for food :).

Do you grind the hemp seeds first (like I do with my flax every morning)? They have the shells on so they look like they would pass through undigested.

I have a Vitamix so it grinds them up with all of my other ingredients. It's pretty powerful. If you are grinding flax, do the same if you have the hemp with the shells on. They are nice and nutty and super good for you!

I figured a scientifically created soil makes up for these shortcomings. There are many reasons I consider anything but soil more of a science than soil life.

Whoever put together the scientifically created soil doesn't know exactly what shortcomings you will encounter. Unless it was specifically created for you!

:thanks: Will do LadyG! I'm already taking hemp seed oil every night. This plant is taking over many aspects of my life :)

Not at all. Just a complete soil with cannabis in mind when they formulated. My goal was to get soil if I did nothing to I’d get a nice plant.

And you got one and another one too! Carry on as you were :)

Thanks. Still need to hear this. So far my decision have been made based on a one sided opinion, my own after research and apply as much common sense as possible. . I came here longing for companionship and knowledge. I will be looking into these measurements and what they mean. I have most the equipment.

Like the Hanford Nuclear Reservation? .
The government assures us that Blinkies (three-eyed fish) are common and nothing to be concerned about.

Three-eyed fish and 13-leafed cannabis. All in a day's work!

Hey InTheShed! Subbed up, but gonna take a while to catch up on 116 pages... lol.

Oh please don't bother!

Summary:
Clones dead, more clones dead, more clones dead. Given two living clones (both monstercropped). They survived and are AK-47 (the bush) and Gold Leaf. Then I got some seeds from Rooster and that's Sour G. It just got up-potted. Got 3 of 4 clones from a January trim of AK to survive and have to figure out what to do with them.

Sorted, and welcome! :welcome:

Not sure if Penny will chime in here but I know that he tried RO and gave it up for his tap water. He found it created deficiencies he then had to correct for. It was easier and better for the plants to start with what was in the tap water. Now, if you live near a Superfund site...

Ro water leads to a multitude of problems. Unless you REALLY know what you are doing. It's highly recommended to stick with spring water for first choice then we'll water then tap water.

Ro water issues include things like iron deficiencies, phosphorus lock, disease.

If you know how to make your ro water perfect then go for it. But unless you've been doing it for years I suggest y'all just keep killing it the way I see you guys do.

I'm coming on a year , 3rd grow so I'm clueless. Supposed to have all the deficiencies found from r/o water in my nute and soil line. I think hydro would be more of a balancing act than with soil but again I'm new. There is iron and lots of buffering microbes. I've never once had a deficiency. I've followed the don't bother PHing and feed regularly usually every watering. They never get just r/o water. There's nothing in it. But full of organics I'm not so sure it makes sense any more. I do like to keep it simple. But I'm learning from you.
