    Default Does good drinking water mean good growing water?

    My city is known for its excellent drinking water, does that mean it's ideal for growing? I know plants have different needs than people. I read it at 250ppm (.5) and from this link they say the same.

    Could anyone in the know, take a look at this and see what ya think?

    Thats 350 ppm on a .7 meter. You will most likely have issues if you are growing hydroponically, but maybe not. Only one way to find out.

    I've been growing for a couple years now in hydro and it seems to work just fine.

    Does anyone see a need for a calmag type product? I do get some pretty brown leaves from time to time. The water chart I posted doesn't include either.
