Well this thread is simple... i want everyone to post what they consider the greatest thing they use for growing that makes a huge difference. Whether it be a soil, fertilizer, rooting hormone, technique... anything. The point is to build a compendium of the greatest products of their kind. Please don't mention lights... we all know what ones are good and which ones are bad.

My personal "greatest thing" is foliar feeding... i've cured a bunch of plants with nutrient problems just by foliar feeding them some Miracle-Gro All-Purpose plant food.

PROPER ENVIRONMENT

no matter what kind of lights you are running, no matter what nutes, no matter the PPM or PH, if your plants aren't happy where they live they will not produce optimal results. just my 2 cents....

for an organic soil indoor grower life myself, i'd say the soil you're growing in...back in the day i would use shit soil and my end result was always subpar, now with really dank soil i get a very heady smoke with an unreal taste!

i just read an article about how RO water will make a big difference in your grows
this was in urban gardner by the way, and they said despite popular belief that letting tap water sit for a day will evaporate the chlorine is wrong

Hi! I'm just a seedling when it comes to growing MJ, but I thought that bubbling the solution for 24hrs or so would disapate the clorine.

that is what i thought also, but the article says its a myth. But that might refer to a new chemical they add which is chloramine, this does not evaporate.
the water is safe enough to drink, and the concentration is very small, but they say it can make a substantial difference.
personally i dont know, but its enough for me to want to get a RO filter
anyone recommend one?
i just dont want to wait three hours to fill up a large container

next best thing to RO water is filtered water. just have to get some fittings to attach it to the end f the hose.... works great.

Get over the chlorine factor as it isn't one unless you are a strict organic grower. Even then I have not seen a side by side grow where a person has given one clone water with and one without.
I grew with RO once (soil grow) and could not tell the difference between the two. Well actually I could as the grow before was better with out RO. Now if your a hydro grower then no comment.
Experience gets you to where you want to go.

Another good thing about RO is that it removes added fluoride from your tap water. Fluoride cant be removed by filtering or letting your water sit. Its good to not have fluoride in your water because its toxic to plants and humans.

you should have your water checked out before you do any serious growing.... lucky for me I didn't need a full RO unit - the water where I am is "clean".... though a little filtering makes me feel better about my plants food.

Remo from adavnced nutrients has a site for growers called "urban grower". video tours of gardens... good stuff chiock full of tips and insight. one of the videp clips is about how to mix your nutrient solution.... he says let the water sit for 24hrs to let the chlorine evaporate off....

ya think about it if it was even mildly harmful everone on earth would know it cuz it would be a coffeetable issue cuz everyone waters thier house plants with tap water

but i never heard it was a problem, not even once so i doubt its an issue,

My best thing: Blue Mountain Organic tonics.

I use either local river water, fish tank water, or spring water and my plants seem to do very well with it. I live in the mountians though so all these types of water are easy for me to come by, that being said I would still buy spring water unless I just had to large of a grow to support it cost wise. Even if it does not adversely affect the plants growth, there is no need for those chemicals so why bother messing with them?
