i have city tap water w/ chlorine in it . is it safe to use on plants ? i heard that if you fill a water jug and let it sit open over-night that the chlorine will evaporate and that its safe to use. has anyone tried this on they're plants, and if so how did it work out?

You could put aquarium pump and it could be done quicker plus you will have the water oxygenated


I love my green girls

That is how I do my water. I have 4 one gallon milk jugs. 2 plain tap water and 2 tap water w/nutes. All of them sit for 24 hours before using. I never have any issues from the water. Although I am going to have to try that aquarium idea. That is awesome. Thanks Balat!

Oh yeah definitely let that sit over night. I would go head and buy some containers to store water. That way you have a cycle of water containers all that will have sat for 24 hours by the time you get to each one.

Nope sure doesn't. I do collect rain water as well when I get the chance. Don't know why but for some reason I think its better for them. I guess really what ever makes me feel better.

Yeah its the same way here. We still have chlorine in our city's water. You cut on the sink and you can smell it.

I use it daily to top off. It has set a minimum of 24 hours though. Usually longer. I keep two five gal buckets full.

I use rainwater.. My babies love it!!

I used to use rainwater.
rainwater is normally neutral which means it has a pH of 7

It is good, but since it is entirely pure, it will have no mineral contents.

You sound like me on loving your plants. It's ok if you talk to your plants. If they start talking back we may have a problem. Haha. :)

Well.. I do live in the middle of nowhere.. Away from polluted cities. I've used exclusively rain water for 5 years now.. So far so good. Our tapwater here is horrible.

Yea. Our plants DO communicate with us.. But it's like they speak thoughts into my mind.. Like the Holy Ghost does. I have trouble sometime understanding but I eventually do get the message. Cannabis was created "and it was very good" according to Genesis.. To me, that's all I have to know!
