Plants look super love the colorful buds 
If you're going to use tap water, the conventional suggestion is to let it sit out overnight before use.
This lets the free chlorine dissipate to levels less harmful to the plant

How about using that stuff for aquariums that gets rid of chlorine instantly? Is that OK to use with MJ?
good question - I'd love to know that too

I used it on my last crop. I was tired of making/waiting for R/O water. I used tap water of 230ppm and half a cap of chorine remover in 5 gallons of water. I fill the system up with 20 gallons total. No harm to the plants. I the crop was very good.
Thanks for the feedback!
That is very good to know.
Too bad that California just got rated as having the dirtiest tap water in the nation. Heard that on the Conan O'brien show last nite.
But it's still great to know that it worked for you with no ill effects.
I've used the aquarium stuff too and the ladies seemed to like it just fine. I did most of my watering this way because I usually forgot to set a bucket out the day before.
I also have a fish tank. I vacuum the gravel in the tank during partial water changes. I use this water to water the ladies as well. My thinking is that I'm giving them a little boost of N from the fish waste. They appear to like this as well.
Thanks for that second data point, PotPie!
I was rumaging through some boxes in my garage and I found some aquarium stuff. Tropical fish are another hobby I love, although I haven't had a tank set up for quite a while. Anyhoo, I found this bottle of stuff I used to use to get rid of chlorine and started wondering if it would work OK for growing.
When you add the aquarium sediment, you're adding not just nutes, but also lots of beneficial bacteria if you've got a healthy ecosystem going. The most concentrated colonies of bacteria are going to be in your filter medium. If you use spongy filter media, put it in a bowl of water and squish it for a while. Good stuff.
Thanks for the info. I hadn't even considered the additional benefit of beneficial bacteria. Win, win.
One of the projects I have on my to-do list is to put a goldfish pond in my backyard.
I love to keep fish and care for them. Once the pond is established and healthy, I'm going to use pond water for my plants and see how they do.
I'm pretty sure they're going to like it.

Thanks I hope so, I'm down to the last little bit of my stash. And my partner says we're not buying any more. I hope that big girl is done soon.
I was talking to my Dad, and asked him about the frost. And he said it's great, it makes them bloom faster. I was worried about the frost killing them, he said it will just make them do their thing better. He's also is flushing his. I'm still giving the smaller ones the blooming food.
He said he's got a cure technique that takes 2 days. Maybe I'll try it on a couple buds, just to hold me over. But I'll probably take the proper time with the rest.

How long are you expecting until harvest for the LST?

I'm not sure, I'm waiting for all of the hairs to turn brown. So far I'd say it's 25% there. Then as everyone says, when you think it's done, wait a week. I have some dead males and a hermie in the garage I might smoke if desperate. So probably 1-2 weeks untill harvest of the LST. The little ones are a bit more behind then that.

From the pics it's hard to see which bud is the top (on the LST) it's the tall one on the right.

I'd definitely go a week longer, or 2-3 weeks. Time will tell though
Hi Ms. chump stain I've just read your journal and it's really an informative one
I still have the pictures of the execution in my mind. Ugh! lol
Don't want too make you mad.lol
You have had some good advise from every one and a Dad to be proud of
I've also noticed you talk with much more confidence than in the begining.
It happens to us all
The indoor grow will be a little more controlled, but with you at the helm I don't think you'll have any problems with your gained experince and all the help you'll be getting.
Your doing great. Fun isn't it?
