Hauling water

[Greylinghunter]

i have well water. High magnesium and calcium. I currently haul water for the ladies but would love to use my water. Other than nutrients and PH'ing would there be something else I would need to do to my well water

If your well water is too hard it can inhibit proper nutrient uptake. One way to balance it is to use a 1:1 ratio of well water and RO water. I am assuming that you do not use a water softener. Do you know the ppm of your well water?

Or u could try a seed,just spitballing lol

My advice would be to use it for one of your plants and see how that goes. It's always the best way to find out.

True statement.

That was one of my biggest issues when I first started, which was also what had killed many of my seeds in the beginning which was too high a PH in my water. Once I fixed that problem, other than stupid accidents, my plants have been germinating and growing, including clones with an issue.

I use well water so hard I have to chew it to swallow it. The plants don't seem to mind it. I grow outdoors in 50 gallon pots. I flush them with rain water.
