I'd assume alot of the ppm in the water is calcium carbonate, since its not plant available its locking out the chelated nutrients that your giving it thorough feedings but its not getting it. light flush and use ro or distilled water and it'll clear out once the nutrients your feeding it become available to the plant again .

Pythium?
My plants always start looking yellowish and I get some brown spots during flowering but the weed ways turns out fine with good yields. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, I've tried adding more or less nutes plus calmag etc but doesn't change anything. Not even sure it's worth improving cos the end result is always good
OMG, complete nonsense.

I run 235 ppm cali tap ( 7.2 -7.4 ) average.
Lawn doesn’t give a shit.
Cats don’t give a shit.
Shrubs and ornamentals outside drink it …….. chlorine / chloramine / flouride / hobo piss and all.
No problem.
Why so serious ?

“Types of heavy metals commonly found in water include manganese, lead, arsenic, chromium and copper. It's important to note that some of these heavy metals are essential for healthy biochemical function, however metals such as lead, chromium and arsenic can be toxic when ingested in small or large quantities.”OMG, complete nonsense.

Furthermore studies show cannabis absorbs and stores heavy metals for process, and too much being present in growth makes bud that smokes unhealthy
If you think the guys with a bachelors degree in chemistry and engineering somehow purged your tap water into perfection, then by all means carry on. I’ll continue to purify mine.

I am not here to argue and I didn’t buy this white paper study to read it completely however; this study is about heavy metals in soil, not “high” TDS water. These are two completely different things and although you may be correct about metals buildups in cannabis having negative impacts it is not a fair comparison. Soil from the Weisse Elster River may have many mg/kg of background metals whereas 250 um/cs in water represents µg/L of total/dissolved metals. Does that study look at the transport from soil to water??
Or the heavy metals in many nutrient salts.

Yea, it's not the water

I think you’re correct in that it’s not the water after more reading, I concede.
Anyone with a private well should test the water. Many do it yearly.
When I sold my house, the well/water failed the bacteria test. Being unoccupied for a few months allowed bacteria to grow.

I assume it probably test for Legionella. Pipes only have to sit vacant for a very little while for that to set in. It is literally present in almost every house or water system. It only takes a very small amount present to fail. I personally have a well and it is some of the best water I’ve ever had. It test at under 100 ppm. I also grew up on well water my dad grew weed my whole life and never once questioned the water. I think people today suffer from too much information being available. One study says this and one study says the opposite. Do what works for you but if you stop sweating the small shit You may find yourself a little more happy. Just my 2 cents
