hey is water with a ppm of 700 too high to use in my rez. i'll only be using it for the first 2 weeks for my newly rooted clones. i should have an RO filter in about a week or two.
its a hydro system obviously.

thanks

unless your water quality is extremely terrible, 700 ppm is a very off number to have for ppm. anything above 200 is considered high levels. I would recomend anything other than that, its almost like the water is so heavy in metals that there would be more metals than nutrients. 700 ppm... wow.

my answer: no, do not use it :P

+rep please

k thanks, yeah it's water from my dam.. my mains water is 300-400, but i'm sick of hauling buckets around. a tap that is connected to my dam is about 1m from my grow room.. mains water is about 100m away :(

"700ppm is off the hook, im at 300 in a hard water area, id check your meter, doesnt sound right" yeah like i said the 700ppm water is from my dam and is unfiltered so my meter is fine. my tap water is 300-400
