All that will remove is pretty much the chlorine. Just the charcoal filter right? No harm in using it but typically tap water is 1 ppm of chloramines legal limit is 4 in NA. I don't feel it's a real issue but if it at max levels and you will smell it if it is. It may benefit but I would not personally worry about it.Just Tracing back to the original plant, the blue cheese i posted about, she went into the night cycle wayyyy happier tonight :D Still not where she used to be but shes definitely bouncing back. i think in a couple hours when the light comes back on shell start really smiling and being happy again, i gotta get this watering gig down :(
Hey, well we are sidetracked and garden tools, i bought an Equate BRITA LIKE, not brita, but brita like water filter pitcher. If i used that filter water for my plants, am i wasting my time???
Got you on that! yes charcoal!All that will remove is pretty much the chlorine. Just the charcoal filter right?

Agreed... Also you don't need to be dead on. Especially in soil... There is almost no need to ph in almost every case. Sometimes it's needed but in that case I would a better water source is a better option.
I did a ppm test, my hard water is running at 240 recently, ppm, i thought it was at 175, but my recent test showed 240, maybe i need to calibrate ppm meter somehow? anyways, i did 240 ppm on hardwater, then after filtering it through the pitcher, it tested at 145. so im obviously removing something, but am i removing the correct contaminants? i know i wont remove all of them.
The water pitcher is for me, my family and my dogs. so we can drink healthier water, so if i can use it for my plants,thats just a plus. if its just a waste of time, then ill keep it for my personal use LOL.
Nah you guys are fine, i read and learn. :D I mean its just more advanced growers discussing knowledge ill probably need in the future. Nothing is a waste or a clog. Thank you aqua for clearing up the confusing though :D Hahaha, question though after reading this, bluelab seems to be the top dog. is that worth spending the money on over like this cheap 15 dollar amazon etekcity pen i have? do i have to keep bluelab wet too? dont want to spend like 80 bucks or whatever it is on the pen, for it to dry and me waste 80 bucks LOL.
I use a bluelab truncheon to avoid needing calibration or special storage solutions.
It is not as accurate as the digital pens as it rounds off the reading but mine has worked for 6 years now. Only needed batteries a couple times and have to clean off the sensor end with barkeepers friend or another gritty soap with no perfume. But you just put a dab on a finger and rub of the end. Then rinse. Thats it.
For potting soil it is plenty accurate. Exact ppm doesnt matter in soil as much as hydro jist like ph.
I'm pretty sure I've only had to change the batteries on mine twice in 11 years.I use a bluelab truncheon to avoid needing calibration or special storage solutions.

I did the small plant feels LIGHT llike he needs water, but the bigger one still feels a little heavy? But has what looks like SOME leaves wilting, not all?Lift the pots bro
theyre all reading super low, all very dry, but the one bigger one feels heavy stilll, sketching me out, i put my finger in the soil, its dry, but it feels like the plants rootball is still damp. like once u go deep enough and hit where the roots start, feels damp. i feel like i start thinking about this way to fucking hard and stress myself out lol.
So water the dry one and wait and check again tomorrow on the bigger one. With different plants and pots it will always be that way.
Thats exactly what i did, even though that bigger one is looking sad, im okay to just leave her until tomorrow? i guess its better to dry er out then water her to much so ill keep letting her dry more.
