I was thinking more a aerated bucket for mixing nutes.Hes aerating his water to get the chlorine out basically. How do you know you need one if you dont know what it is?

Can use epsom salt/tap for mg and calciumI’m filtering becaus I have neighbors and even though I don’t think they care I’d rather not let any odors sneak out, I need to pick up some cal-mag I just saw it at my local garden center the other day (also fox farms brand) I did also pick up a dual stone pond airstone, tested my tap water and it has 115PPM. So I’ll run 2x 5 gallon buckets at a time (gunna also use it in the humidifiers I go through about a gallon in each one per day on low to stay around 56-65% RH also picked up a a pre-filter to add to remove chlorine and chloramine (not sure which my town uses) so just to be safe I’ll use both lol
I am worried that the increased airflow will drop my RH like a stone so we’ll see I can maintain the 50% on average but I’m running around 79-81f on average so I’m close in the VPD chart but a little low in RH for my temp, nowhere near danger but not ideal for veg it seems
If I get a year out of the filters I’d be happy, to replace the 4” and the 6” at the same time would be about $100 so I’m not overly worried about it as long as there’s no detectable odor at all
Yeah I figured I’d check it before I switched to the filtered / arrayed tap. When I saw it was that low with 7.0PH that’s awesome, after adding neuts it dropped to 6.1PH added 8 drops of PH up per gallon and ended up near 6.4PH and in the pot it went haha. I barely water to runoff basically I water each pot with the gallon all together, wait 10-15 minutes then do another gallon across all 5 and then do it one more time normally I end up with mabye 1/2 cup coming out of the bottom of the fabric pots when I water with plain water I soak them down good maybe 3-4 cups of runoff per pot118 PPM is awesome straight tap water bro. Mines like 350 IDK I never check it....its not something I concern myself with.
Ive watered to runoff 1 time in 8 weeks. Also something Im not concerned with.
Youre waters fine dont sweat the small stuff.
I need an orange bucket set up like you got
Just a 5gal bucket and some air stones/ and a water pump?
That’s why I pre-filter with this, for chlorine it will off-gas the chlorine, if your town uses chloramine instead, then it will not remove itAnd that works?
ive heard it does and it doesnt.
saaw that, makes sense.That’s why I pre-filter with this
Its because cannabis plants dont need calcium or magnesium....they need Boron. :)
Most areas publish a water analysis every year. Google the name of your town/city + "water report" and you should find it easily.You’d think I know what they use for bacteria control but I don’t I just moved to this town about 6 months ago, but the town water tower is right across the street from me haha… yeah my water pressure is pretty good rofl
Yeah I have 2 more of them I was considering putting them on the sides and having them shine inwards twords the undergrowth just kinda playing with it atm to see what they like, next run I’ll do 4 plants max I think it’s pretty crowded in there with the 6x I know the lights say 3x3 flower coverage and I have 2 of them side by side about a foot apart but I keep getting nervous it’s not enough haha but I can say that the plants are seeming to do fine in it so far, I guess only final yield will tell, any opinion on the RH situation in my last post?Plants look good to me !
I see others here that use side lights or even lights on the bottom pointing up ?
The plants will tell you if they don't like it the way I see it ?
Looking good !
