sorry but I have never had a problem watering straight out the tap. I dont have time to be fucking around letting water sit around and getting the perfect temp. The roots are experiencing the water temp for what, maybe 5 minutes before the heat of the room brings the dirt back to normal.

What I might believe would affect the growth is if you could keep the dirt colder for days as it would be later in the year in nature. Its not just the rain thats colder later in the year, its the ground too, in the wild. I suppose I'll just keep shocking my plants, because they finish in the same amount of time as most other strains.

After you water fill up your can for the next day... Shock happens almost instantly

You do you

We all get flaccid at the thought of you V..until you open your mouth..

RO contains nothing. You add a minor amount of Ca/Mg as a buffer for use in all hydro applications.
IF, you use a "quality" nutrient. It has all those other things in it that you took out of the RO.
Now there are not "extra's" that will limit the uptake of all the other good things the proper nutrient has....I.E. the plant will now use the "more" available nutrition to grow faster and larger ...... E. Rosenthal, G. Green and a host of others say so!
So does actual; science....

I wouldn't change back if I was paid to.....
I control exactly what is in my water.

I've SEEN it for YEARS - Any hydro style run with RO will out yield any tap water run I have EVER seen!
If your water is 150 or more ppm from the tap. You SHOULD run RO! The actual results speak for themselves...

My tap was about 103, I still let it sit out for 24hr but sometimes (pretty rarely) Ill have to use strAight from the faucet. Should I continue what im doing? I add CALiMAGic sometimes as well.

Ha I had to google faucet! I think if you have a small grow it makes sense to leave some water at room temperature, say a gallon? As for RO versus tap water I disagree with any statements quoting "Its superior in any way shape or form" my family farmed with ordinary water for years without issues on many different fruits? I have run both RO and 'good' tap water 0.2 EC but never noticed a benefit?
I don't add it back in either, using a coco A/B I haven't had to add any further calmag as it seems to have enough in. We are all going to have different opinions on the time, hassle n expense versus free water out of the tap I suppose. I expect if your faucet squirts out water harder than Chuck Norris you may need some additional filters etc?

I no longer aerate my water, but prefer to allow it to sit,

any bacteria or sourness is handled by the actual pouring of the water

or the aeration of poring it thru a sprinkler like a watering wand they're great

water wands are a secret to themselves lol.. just connect it to your 10 usgallon water tank

you do have a water tank...? lol

Canna is quite different from your veggies! I have well water. ppms are usually around 120. All my food crops do great with it. BUT, it will kill my canna in a week. Even filtered to 80 ppm. I've had the water tested and nothing is too far from normal. they will become sick at 30 ppms! They start looking like they have PH issues, yet PH is always withing range. Hell, I spent months figuring this out. Even shit canned my ph meter thinking was defective!

I change my RO filters when I see a change in my plants. That usually starts happening when the filters allow more than 30 ppm to pass thru! I just added 2, whole house filters, a sediment and a charcoal to prefilter before it reachs the RO, to extend RO filter and membrane life.

RO is the only thing to fix my problem, or buy bottled, filtered water. So don't apply your " family farm water" to everyone else, each situation is unique.

Am I totally missing something very important here? Forget Cannabis been different from veggies for now, are you saying that you have water containing around 120 ppm and it will kill your Cannabis plants in a week? That kind of looks wrong... I'm not saying its obscenely inaccurate as it could be 120ppm of toxic dog jizz yer get mi? :confused:

Growers with flaccid peni,

use RO water, then have to play catchup

adding the very same minerals (Mg), (Cl),(Zn) etc etc

that they just ripped out

go figure?

Yeah but we get to add in the amounts we actually want and not a blind turkey shoot hoping for the right amounts of calcium and magnesium. That's what we do with our dicks limp while the tap water guys are jerking.
