Ph? Do you let the tap water sit out for a day or two before you use it? Been reading a lot about how chlorine commonly found in tap water will kill off a lot of the microbes in your soil

My ph tester is on the way ( Canada post )
I was going to go with AN ph Perfect To avoid any ph problem. Would that work with soil ? I thought I seen it’s specifically for hydro grow

I usually let it sit for a day but recently haven’t been able to as I have 8 outside growing as well and I don’t have big enough barrel to hold all the water

They work good. I use sensi bloom for veg and flower too. pH of water is 7.5 after adding nuts goes to 6.2

you should let the ta water sit out for 3 to 4 days (see the little bubbles that form on water bottles left out for a few days after refil? thats Cl2 diffusing out of H2O)

if you cant wait that long aquarium and pet stores sell chlorine remover. be sure to get the kind that doesnt have beneficial bacteria if you can (meant for an aquarium)

The problem isn't Chlorine. The amount of Chlorine in drinking water is no where near even a bothersome amount to plants. If you can drink it, so can the plants.

Besides, most tap water nowadays uses Chloramine for purification instead of, or along side Chlorine. Chloramine does not evaporate like Chlorine, so leaving the water sit out will likely do nothing anyway.

This is a deficiency issue. You're seeing Nitrogen deficiency currently, but until you start feeding nutrients, more deficiencies will quickly follow.
