to water your plants? i heard that using salt water is better than just water. is the salt a good source of nutes or something? i think using saltwater would dehydrate your plants, but what do i know this is my first grow. thanks for all comments and advice.

You can use epsom salts for mg deficiency, but that is as far as I would go.

Was this a joke?
HELL NO don't use salt water.
Like Oneton said you flush out excess salts from just regular nutes. Salt is baad for the plants.

If the goal is to kill your plants as fast as possible, by all means, use saltwater.
