is Chloromine “free chlorine?”
And if so is that bad for organic growing? Cause I’ve been to worried about the microbial life in the medium to use it. Lol

Imo UNLESS brewing teas the amount of chlorine is absolutely insignificant in drinking water... no need to worry about it one bit.

One more question and I'll leave you alone lol. Being that coco, perlite, and peat (im assuming) doesn't have nutrients in it, should i still wait till they're about 2 weeks old before i start feeding? Just making sure. I dont wanna starve the babies or burn them lol. I'll be doing autos by the way..

Nah dude ask away I would preferred you did and grow nice stuff to enjoy not flood the forums with omg I did this and that crap lol... sry my day off I’ve been drinking. But peat is different, peat moss has nutrients and depending on the brand, I know fox farms ocean forest you can just water till transition”” that soil is nice.

Guys it's not micro or chlorine or calcium or nag or sulfur...


It's about understanding how much of what nutrients are in it to make a proper decision on any amendments that may be needed and to ensure things like sodium are low....

Eg MOST tap water contains way to high of a calcium to magnesium ratio... so you don't add cal mag you add magnesium sulfate to balance it out... sodium is a nutrient but SOME water sources have far to much to be suitable for plants... this is because most use calcium carbonate to provide alkalinity and ensure PH does not fall low enough to erode coating and leech heavy metals into the water .... but some older system still use sodium bicarbonate.

I also gotta say again to area man, my local tap is collected from springs and rivers so oddly enough you can see a decent amount of the odd ball minerals like boron and zinc.

Those are in all tap... generally speaking if your tap is under 200ppm I would hesitate to use it.

I think we all say this is why most people just use RO or distilled and started from basic ass water with 0 ph ppm and etc

Hell yeah lol. Im just treading lightly because i was on a site like this one before i made an account here. Im gonna call it troll it up dot com lmao. 2 out of 10 of those "well known members" are cool as hell and like giving advice. The rest of them are a bunch of rude arrogant circle jerkers. Long story boring... I told them what i thought about their BS and it turned into anarchy quick lol. So hopefully its not as bad here, and honestly it already seems like a much better place. Nobody's talked down to me or anything. But anyways... im attaching a pic of the peat im working with. My mix is coco dominant for sure tho

Yeah but it’s when you amend the soil with organics that’s outside my game field. organics have different absorbing and feed and etc so going into the depth of amended soil yeah not me sorry man.
