Hello Robert – I wanted to alert you to a new filter I have designed
specifically for growing cannabis. It will remove chloramines entirely and it
will remove or reduce fluoride, depending in part on local water chemistry.
In most locations with low tds (under 300) fluoride will be removed.
Please check out my website. Reply

I’m using lake water in SW Colorado for our indoor and outdoor plants.
The ppm is around 1100 before I add my organic nutrients. It goes up to
over 2000 after I add them. Is it necessary to get a filter for that or is it ok,
being that it’s minerals from the lake? Reply

By The? on 20 July 2015

where i live in the uk the tap water is f$%#in’ shite. hard as diamond,
mmmm, well u get my drift….? i reckon.

it also has well over 300 ppm of other solids, salts, minerals. gazillions of
it….not great.

gonna get an ro system soon and give that a try, i’ve heard great things
about it but i just cant afford one atm. but one day soon as possible.

i try to save and use as much rainwater as possible for now and soften
with nitric/phosphoric acid when i run out. is hydrchloric acid any good for
softening, just a thought as i wouldnt be adding the phos and nitric bits
out. yeah if anyone can help me with that would be real cool?

also does anyone know what i can use, safely to save what i can of a
plant in bud with a botrytis problem, i’m trying to salvage something!

have a nice day everyone :- ) Reply

Hello The?,
I would not apply hydrochloric acid to my plant solution. I would stick with
phosphoric acid, or go buy a battery refill kit at the auto store. It is pure
diluted sulfuric acid , I use this all the time, and even in my greenhouse,

Can bottled water be used? Distilled? Regular?

thanks! Reply

By latewood on 12 September 2015

Distilled water is perfect for growing. The downside is that you have to
constantly buy and tote water every week. This can become tedious.
Invest in an 4-5 stage Reverse-Osmosis unit. This will provide you with
years of pure water; And, at a fraction of the cost and effort of buying, and
toting distilled, or bottle dwater Reply

When plants have less fingers on there leafes it are 2 things or mayby 3.

1/ not enough light or not the right collor light

2/ the strain growht as 1 finger leafes ,i thought some Dutch company has
that strain.

Something with ‘duck’ in the name. If you see the plant you woudnt say its
a cannabis plant. But it is …do you know what strain there is being given
to you?

3/ other opinion

soft water doesnt have enough alcali salts to compensate acid from
fertiliser…If u have distiled water(without any salts) and mixed with
ferts,you had to much acid enviroment(distiled water get same ph from
water&ferts which you mixed)…to not have that,you must have correct ec-
meter to measure your ec/ppm…150 ppm=0.3ec on meter.That alkali salts
in water(mg,ca…)compensate acid from ferts and they are dancing in
good way if you have acceptable ph(5.6-6.5)…If you wanna good results
you must have ec and ph meter and measured once a week
water,soil,water&nutrients when you irrigate and your drain tell you the
health of your plant,everything develops of tap water for irigate……Robert

By latewood.ILGM on 8 August 2016

Ak47luver,
Sorry to have missed this. We have been having a chronological issue
with our blog for a couple months.
You always want to feed bloom nutes in flower. Hope everything turned
out alright.
For more available knowledge; Join our free support forum. So much great
advice there!
Happy growing Reply

By latewood.ILGM on 8 August 2016

Cheis,
Rain water is great, however, you still need to test the PH and make sure
you are collecting this rain water in a potable water reservoir, ro at least
food grade. 55 gallon soap drums are acceptable vessels for collecting
rainwater.
Check that PH. If you need more information. Join our forum Reply
