I ran in some junk garden soil and some Fox Farm Ocean Forest last grow. All the deficiencies showed up when it heated up in August and September I guess it was. It's hard to fix other's soil.
I put together about 30 gallons of first gen mix last month so I'm good for a while.

Good deal Jim. I'm going to try and re ammend my soil after this run. I usually don't from fear of not having everything just right. But it's time for me to step up and correct issues instead of just going off Subcools recipe

High PC! Man! When I read about soil mixing, my lazy ass is grateful that I just mix coco and perlite! I have observed that your results are definately worth the effort though. Have a great day. Stay stoneder.

Thanks Jim, Dank, Fred, Fudo, Sparkey etc. We just got 9 gallons of spring water and 16 gallons of distilled water. I will be needing around 4 gallons each time I water those Big A$$ 20 gallon pots and I will have 4 of them so I am just going to have to get plenty of water every other day. That's going to be a real chore

The spring water is for my LOS, SCSS and the distilled is for my Big Sativas
What's in your tap water that makes it unusable?

Chloramine and possibly chlorine. I don't have a water report but you can smell and taste a little chlorine taste. Its city water that they charge through the nose for. I do need to get a water report and see. I gave my buddy a Boggie Brew Blue + water filter that is supposed to filter all that out, I can use it anytime but I still don't want to chance it with the soil mix I use. But I may have to use it that way some. I am not looking forward to carrying all that water so I may just use it some
If it's just chlorine, leave it out for 48 hours and save yourself a ton of cash on buying water. If it's chloramine, simple cheap ascorbic acid (plain old vitamin C) will remove it.

I was bubbling my tap water for 48 hours or so using supersoil. Notice around 5 to 6 weeks in flower my plants would fade super quick. Transition to ro water and it was noticable difference or it could supersoil mix.
But the last couple of waterings in flower i still use tap to save on labor..lol..read it could have been choramine killing microbes, not sure
Do you know which your water source uses? Chlorine would be gone after 48 hours of bubbling.
Found this from the SF Public Utilities Commission:
"There are no NSF International certified point of use devices utilizing Vitamin C; however SFPUC determined that 1000 mg of Vitamin C (tablets purchased in a grocery store, crushed and mixed in with the bath water) remove chloramine completely in a medium size bathtub without significantly depressing pH."
