Thanks for passing by man!
Alright, will do!
If you are making a extract it should only be the product you intended to extract and nothing more. Making a comparison between different scenarios would require more than just one single opinion, it would require a placebo and trials with multiple test and test subjects before you could even narrow it down to a maybe in regards to cause and effect. There is just to many variables in the growing process the drying process and the extraction process to deduce that a unwanted taste comes from a particular part of the process.
Thank you, That single quote was the thing that helped me further understand how plants work.
If you are using a soil medium and breaking down nutrients via beneficial bacteria, if you where to use dead water ( high O.R.P drinking water/tap water ) you would kill your beneficials. There has been a few studies that suggest that it could be a cause for a ruff smoke because some of those dead beneficials are going through the zylem and getting caught in the plant tissue. Unfortunately unless there is nothing touching the root or if the things touching the root are inert then the roots are going to continue to uptake what has been broken down in the soil via the water. Like I always say " this is your hobby do it how you like it" and if you wouldn't mind sharing your knowledge and experiences I would like to also learn from them.
