Hey all,
I've been doing some playing around with coco lately, and since I've just been expanding and rinsing small amounts, I'd use RO water. Now that I'm using more coco, and expanding/rinsing more at one time, It made me wonder why not just use tap water to rinse?
So I thought I'd see if anyone here uses chlorinated tap water to pre-rinse their coco? I'm using the Roots Organic coco...I live in the city, I took a look at the water report and saw chlorine but no chloramine. Also no other red flags I could see. Since I haven't inoculated or anything at that point, there's not even any micro-life to be effected (so to speak) by the chlorine, so it seemed like it could be done.
What do you guys think? Tap or RO when it comes to rinsing and expanding coco?
