Type of water

I was thinking I couldn’t use my well water because it has Huge amounts of iron. Ph is 7.6 out of the tap. Ppm is only about 150 though. I used distilled water my first grow, lots of ph up on nute days. I found it to be frustrating to ph as well as a little bit in non nute days went a long way of the ph down and was very easy to over shoot it. This grow I said screw it and used my well water, plants are perfectly happy. I’m guessing yours with the tap water will be fine. I use calmag on my nute waterings in soil nit Sure if I really need to they seem to not mind it though. And it’s so much easier not hauling distilled water, and you get odd looks buying 40 bucks worth of distilled water st the store. My limited understanding is hydroponic based mediums like hydro or coco can be more sensitive to hard water.
 
I use 60% rain water to 40% tap water. I add 17 drops of acid to get the PH to 6.5 for 10L. Growing in soil that I make up. No cal mag required. Costs me 18 dollars a year for additional supplements.
 
Hey Canuck, my Mom is from Britannia Beach, on the way to Whistler. You live in one of the most beautiful parts of our planet. I don't have any family left there but would move tomorrow if I could afford the cost of living!! I imagine it only got worse after the Olympics!!!
