Default bottled water..YAY or NAY?
It has calcium magnesium potassium nitrates sulphates and bicarbonates.....

It also has sodium and a bit of chlorine, which cant be good for the plant..

Opinions please.

Let it air out and you could use it, but it would be no better than tap water because that sounds like all it is.

The same minerals are also in tap water, since tap water also comes from spring water or underground rivers. he only difference is that tap water may not be, depending on region, very clean, but will always have chlorine, that you need to eliminate by letting the water sit 24h at room temps or boil for 5 min and then cool off.

Since you can get the same thing from tap water, spending more money on bottled water would be a waste.

PS: the minerals contained in bottled water are so few that it really doesn't make a difference. You could just as well be using distilled water.

Sorry but in a large, and growing, number of municipalities are using chloramines as opposed to chlorine, which will not break down as stated and must be removed via filtration, or by breaking the bond using sodium thiosulphate.

Tap water ranges from soft at 10-40 ppm hardness, to very hard at 200+ppm depending on the source. Your water may be very different than mi e or others regarding chemical composition and pH buffering ability. For some, reverse osmosis filtration or bottled water are the only options.

If using bottled water, I suggest spring water, or buffering distilled water to 100-150 ppm using a cal-mag supplement.

I live in eastern Europe, where fads about tap water additives arrive slowly and are implemented slowly or at all.

I was unaware that the US is using chloramines. Those are pretty unhealthy for people or plants.

If you Can afford it use Distilled water, its the best bottled water you can buy. I cant afford the shit and use tap water with no issues! You have to add Pond Water Detoxifier to the tap water and you can use it right away. I have a outdoor fish pond and Chlorine, Chlorimines and other toxins will kill my Kio and Goldfish. Pond Water Detoxifier removes all the bad stuff from tap water almost instantly. Try it. It works! Peace Out!

its not about the 'minerals', legit spring water has a ph of 6. it's convenient and relatively clean.

I swear by gallons of spring water.. they're 79 cents, i can add my nutes by the gallon- directly to the gallon, the bottoms of the bottles are great for starting seedlings. idk. Im a fan
