Does using RO water increase chances of getting Root Rot?

[atrumblood]

as I said, chlorine and chloride are two different things and differ in the chemical formula; (cl2 vs cl)

one is a toxic gaz and the other is a salt.

They are the same in that they are both Chlorine atoms. The difference is that Chlorine is a diatomic element. This means that in its elemental form it has zero net charge and exists as two chlorine atoms bonded to each other in the gaseous state. It is denoted as Cl2.

Chloride on the other hand is a single atom of chlorine with a net negative charge. denoted as Cl- . Chloride is not salt, but it is a component of sodium chloride which is A salt (table salt) .

Chloride or anything that breaks down into chloride is an essential trace mineral for most if not all living organisms even human beings.
Of course excessive anything is never good though, potassium chloride is also used to stop hearts lol

It is actually the potassium part of potassium chloride (KCl) that does the heart stopping in this case. Too much potassium in the system short circuits the heart. Potassium is one of the key electrolytes needed for muscle movement. With out it, you couldn't lift a finger let alone be alive.

I think its a fww other drugs also that complete the death

Yea there are three total. The last of which stops the heart. The other two have to do with paralysis and putting the person to sleep.

I have always used RO water and always got root rot.. I always thought it was due to incorrect EWC tea, or using roots excelorator in DWC, so i stopped hydro...

I noticed recently that my water butt was a little slimy inside, all i had was RO water and nutrients (chiller also running)

Then i was thinking, If i remove all the deposits from tap water (including chlorine) surly the water becomes more prone to nasty bacteria becoming present?

i do no that people that use resert or ro not to sure if we are on the same page resert is when u catch the nute solution and run it back thru the pots for about a week . well i do no that alot of people do get alot of issues but then again i have seen rezes that are bright green without an issue

Bright green, I would consider that an issue lol

 

[atrumblood]

Ummm yeah.... algae robs nutrients.

yea i no alot of people wre i live just don't give a fuck about growing its all about how quick and how much coin can be made

 

[atrumblood]

I could not grow like that. I am too much of a control freak when it comes to growing. It is why I don't grow in soil. or outdoors. I must control everything! (heavy breathing.) ill be ok. maybe

You'll make more coin if you take your time and do it right. I can't buy that philosophy ---> I'm a IF it's worth doing it's worth doing right kind of guy.

AMEN!

so true but i beg to differ here its crazy the amount of people that do it and how shit some of the stuff they moving but people buy it by the pounds

Someone with a green thumb could put em outta business quick.

At least until Feb and March here, then it's pretty dry lol. Some would buy your shake . It is changing though and top shelf is easier to come by with all the illegal but allowed dispensaries, and that's hit and miss as well

which breaks down into Chlorine (Cl) @0.1% which is a tertiary nutrient of cannabis.

Group three nutrients (potassium, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, manganese and sodium),

I suggest you read that.

Plants must obtain the following mineral nutrients from their growing medium:[2]

• the macronutrients: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg); and
• the micronutrients (or trace minerals): boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni).

since reading through this thread I've noticed many commercial ag fertilizer blends have chlorine in the base also.

i doubt it would be in Ag fertilizers for the fun of it

okay bro .fyi they list nutrient as elemental form.

keep adding clorox as a chlorine source.

i wounder why dynagro dont add pools chlorine in their nute , its the cheapest source!

The thing they do not tell you in much detail is that the plant is unable to use the elemental forms of those elements. Every single element the plant uses is an ion. Meaning that it is either in the + or - state and is soluble in water. If they add chlorine to something it would have to be as chloride or chlorate. Chlorine wouldn't stay in solution long enough for the plant to use it, not to mention it would react with other compounds in the nutrients and the plant it self possibly killing it. The manufacturers dumb it down because it is too complicated for the average consumer and really isn't important for them to know in any more detail.
