Tap water?

[paul1791]

I have been using ph ed tap water and plants appear to be healthy and forming buds ok. I understand that tap water isnt the best but its got me this far.....should I change to NO water or not.

If its doing you well don't change it. I had so many issues my first grow I wanted to rule out as many variables as I could so I went with RO water. I have really hard water here though. If your tap has low ppm just let it sit out for a day or 2 before using it.

I think he meant that if it has low ppm, go ahead and use it. Just let it sit out first to release some of the chems. I just bout a Pur 3 stage filter for my tap water.

EXACTLY!

If it were high ppm I would say filter it but low ppm is cool just let it set out for a day for clorine or any such chem that may be harmful to plants. RO is best though
