auqarium water?

I was reading in a gardening book that the water from your fish aquarium should be used on your house plants and that they will thrive on this, would this be of any benefit to my girls, they are nearly a month into flowering and I've gone the organic route. Any remarks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Someone's got to know?? I rather put the waste water to work rather than dump half of it down the jacks!

Thats all I am going to use on my next grow, except for the last few weeks.

be careful aquarium water has high levels of nitrites.... keep that in mind, also concern for mold

Actually, if the water is from a healthy established tank there should be no nitrites, should only be nitrates. Nitrates from fish tank water will give the plants a boost to trace elements, phos, nitrogen.

Yeah...I use aquarium water on all my plants. They love it but I only use it about once a month.

I use it every watering.
My plant seems to be doing very healthy.

But during the last few weeks, right before harvest i wouldnt use it.

what about that stuff,i think its called 'thrive' or 'super thrive',i seen it at home depot is it any good?

Thrive???

I dont know, i havnt even heard of it..??

That's great I'll give it a whirl later! thanks

i wouldnt use it when your plants are flowering i think it's high in nitrogen..
i use it on little plants...

superthrive is good when dealing with transplant shock

i use super thrive the whole grow except for the last 3 weeks of flowering. use about 4 drops per gallon of water for older plants. it keeps them good and strong, gives them good resistance to shit too.
god knows mine are strong bitches because of the stuff. they should be dead a million times over.

Just use it...It will be all good. Unfortunetly I have to get my tank water from a friend. My fishtank is saltwater and that certainly will not work. My friend has a freshwater tank which gives me plenty of water to feed my gals.

Gave it a whirl today, the fish were delighted with the clear out!

I do my water changes every few weeks...I drain the used water into a Gardening spot beneath the window while plants are not actively growing. I plant my medicine in various places around my yard. My plants that are planted in the area where I dump my tank the whole off season does the best...I can only attribute it to the waste water from the tank...The plant is dark green and very strong with thick buds...I will post before I cut it down...I dont post pics because Im so paranoid someone will steal them...already had two pots taken this year from a new neighbor that I had to have a heart to heart with!!!
