Is aquafina good water?

ph IS important. I didn't make myself clear, sorry about that. You need to get ph correct absolutely, but the water itself is not too important. Think about the water that falls from the sky. Weed growing outdoors grows awesome with it. I'm just saying use tap water, or rain water or creek water or whatever you want after you ph balance it. Peace.

But most tap waters are fine. Just let it stay out in a 5 gallon bucket for 24-48 hours so the chlorine will disipate. Add your nutes then adjust your ph accordingly. I take it that at the ammount you stated you use (2 bottles) that you have a small grow in soil. Be glad you don't have a hydro set up. Mine is 150 gallons every resv change. That would be a shitload of bottles...lol

good luck on your grow bro.
lol thanks brokeandwise but just dont want to mess this up wit the ph thing kno that is one of the important things.

In a pinch you can also use a tap water dechlorinator . It the stuff you use in aquariums to remove the chlorine from tap water before you put your fish in it. It also removes chloramine and heavy metals. I use it every time I change out my resv (150 gallons). Its a lot easier than filling 30 five gallon buckets and I have had no problems thus far with my plants as you can see:bigjoint:

Exactly. Use an airstone to help with the chlorine even quicker.

Dude, if your gonna use bottled water get distilled water. It has the lowest ppm and is best for plants. Plus, its ph neutral unlike drinking water. I use half tap water half distilled water and let it sit in a 5 gal bucket with an airstone (to add oxygen for the roots) for atleast 24 hrs before watering. Also, make sure your water is the temperature of the soil and not too cold or too warm, thqat can shock the plants.
hope this helps.

yes you can use pond water because its better than plain water and you really dont even have to let the water sit out, unless you have really bad tap water you can use it straight.
