I am running an 8 bulb 4' t5 about 2/12 feet above some freshly transplanted Lemon Skunks. What would be my best bet for watering these guys? Distilled, filtered, tap or??Thanks again,

Spring or distilled is best. The chlorine in tap water will kill off beneficial organisms in your organic soil.

just let ur water sit out over night before watering the chlorine should disipate. i used to put an airstone in my water and let that go for 24 hrs... but now i havent really seen a difference... it all depends on the amount of money u wanna spend. just make sure u ph ur water. my tap is around 6.3

I have always used tap water but it always sits out for at least a day, I shoot for 2ish which I usually reach. My tap water is slightly yellow when you look through it and has a PH of 8.5 or so but it works just fine as I let it sit out and adjust the PH (which you should be use to anyway because nutes fuck PH all up).

What is the cheapest way to test your water for its chlorine content? My tap water is foggy then when it sits it clears up.
