I'm lucky,
I really want to try some land race full Indicas (not got the height for Sativas yet, is it the heirloom seeds your using ?
I'm lucky,Apparently there’s a lot of this stuff ‘trihalomethanes’ which is meant to be bad and water failed to reach safe levels of chlorine in 98% or something close of tests, it’s an old network but being replaced.
Looks like a lot of the things we’re taught to fear in growing are more of a marketing thing.

I strongly disagree. You can grow with tap water yes, depending on where you live is fine, but is not optimal if you dont make sure the PH is where it needs to be. Also commercial soils are trash. I dont wanna be mean but is the second post I see from you that makes no sense to me. There's a difference in between a plant getting by and thriving.Tap water was made to be human and plant safe, were watering vast amounts of soil crops here with the stuff and no pH control.
Everything about soil here is marketing, can just go to a supermarket buy cheap indoor soil and ferts and succeed.
Ph is quite irrelevant if the alkalinity is low as in all good tap waters.I strongly disagree. You can grow with tap water yes, depending on where you live is fine, but is not optimal if you dont make sure the PH is where it needs to be.
As I said, Ill trust the studies instead of a random dude that gives what seems to be very uneducated advice and is condescending to others that think differently.Ph is quite irrelevant if the alkalinity is low as in all good tap waters.
Many fail to understand that 100ppm of calcium thrown into a soil matrix isnt going to do nothing.
Alkalinity is what your missing and the sum power of 100ppm of calcium on a soil matrix is meaningless.
Some just suck at growing is the answer then try and teach soil growers how to grow in soil which is simply off-putting and weird.
Not only do I understand soil but I understand water and growers round the world in a load of different waters all produced exactly the same results despite the fact you think they need to pH it.....
Not sure what else to say, your cross to burn not mine I can do it with many wrong pH waters sucks you still can't
3ppm of chlorine has less destructive power than a tardigrade.My tap water is highly alkaline, if I didnt check ph I would be having nute lockout every grow. And chlorides do damage microorganisms in the soil even if it doesnt wipe them all. Youre the one using the bro science, the rest of us are using actual science.
My tap water can hit eight or over so what....My tap water is highly alkaline, if I didnt check ph I would be having nute lockout every grow.

The tap water in the US can contain up to 250ppm of chlorides, what are you talking about? Also it can contain way more than 100ppm of calcium aswell, seen tap water with 300ppm of calcium.3ppm of chlorine has less destructive power than a tardigrade.
You need to go look at all the science and studies you selectively omitted im afraid.
Even these small points you make are ridiculous at a scientific level...
Show us your plants, lets see how marvelous are they with 8ph and commercial supermarket soil.My tap water can hit eight or over so what....
The average calcium content in tap water and spring water in Russia is about the same, but I don't know about other countries.When Comrade Chesnokov and Mrs. Bazyrina prepared the solution, no calcium was added. They either added more water or less, because the average value was about 140 mg/LThe tap water in the US can contain up to 250ppm of chlorides, what are you talking about?

Ah I see now it's a grow off because you think soil growers need to pH...Show us your plants, lets see how marvelous are they with 8ph and commercial supermarket soil.
Ah I see, instead of showing evidence of what youre saying you insult me. In my third world country we have free healthcare and education and we dont have one of the highest incarcerations rates in the world, I can go for low blows too.Ah I see now it's a grow off because you think soil growers need to pH...
Really you just have bad water, not good for health or plants.
Sucks your so third world there.... Maybe follow the advice not blanket a board hmmmm!
I don't quite understand what you're arguing about, but I'll venture to suggest that when you talk about harm, you're referring to an excess of trace elements. However, I believe that central water supply eliminates the possibility of poisoning. If you have a well, you should have a filtration system that addresses this issue. The next step is to determine the amount of calcium in your water, which can be achieved by regulating the concentration. However, it's crucial to maintain a balance of essential elements. All elements except calcium. But if we fall below the 1ec concentration, we should add calcium.Ah I see now it's a grow off because you think soil growers need to pH...

Depending on the hardness of the water you dont need to use calmag or not as much. I have hard water and I still use calmag because if you push other parameters accordingly you can push more nutes too, never had a problem with calcium toxicity or lack of calcium.The average calcium content in tap water and spring water in Russia is about the same, but I don't know about other countries.When Comrade Chesnokov and Mrs. Bazyrina prepared the solution, no calcium was added.

And let this guy tell the OP that he shouldnt meassure anything because its all bro science? Cant do that.You two take it outside!
