luckily where i'm at in sunny Florida the tap water is pretty clean...i've done tests on plants with distilled, spring and tap and noticed no difference whatsoever...i run organic soil and nutes, so i just flush a couple times towards the end with molasses and the taste of my buds is always sweet and delicious!

STAY HIGH........

some city water systems use a different kind of chlorine. It won't evap out like reg chlorine. thats why RO and reverse osmosis are preferred, if possible. start with water less than ideal and the rest of the grow will follow down to growers hell of less than expected results.

I drink tap water all the time, where i am from the tap is good, ppm are low.
i always thought that chlorine evaporated after sometime, which is most likely the case but its the new compound chloramine that is the subject to talk about
i have been meaning to contact the municipality about the contents of the water
if chloramine has replaced chlorine, then i imagine it would be useless to allow the water to sit for 23 1/2 hours.
yes i am currently organic, im giving it a whirl, and the chloramine is toxic to the microbes that i spent so much money on. it would be pointless to put them in if im going to kill them with the water.
either way you grow it could not hurt, and the units are not that expensive. I just dont want to watch a fucking trickle of water come out the spout while trying to fill a 50 gallon rez

What about those additives that you add to your water that removes the chlorine and chloramines? You can get it from pet stores that have fish supplies. It's suppose to keep fish water healthy and I have been told to use it to remove the junk from my tap water. Whats you guys opinion on this?

perlite
Peruvian Seabird Guano 10-10-2
Sunleaves Jamaican Bat Guano 1-10-0.2
3 year old organic cow manure
root tone
humidity domes

its extra work ,but you just keep track of each batch and week that they are in. you already know how to feed them accordingly, do you follow a feeding scheduale
