Snow for watering

Kerowacked · Mar 8, 2023

Should work! But I think it’s lower in oxygen compared to tap?

If that makes a difference I don’t know, only one way to find out!

I’ll check ppm and pH when it melts.

There’s a vid i saw on youtube and they used it for bubble

It’s frozen rain right ? Why not imo? Some might think yellow is better haha

I can't see why not as long as it's brought to a decent temperature for the plants

Thats the plan, but i’ve read people using cold water in flower.

From Alaska comes the question - why? A waste of thermal energy.

Cold roots ain't good.

I was just going to say the only drawback i see is how much snow it takes to make any significant amount of water

Have always used city tap water, pH is mid 7’s, chlorine flouride etc

Snow especially but rain too pick up every atmospheric contaminant they fall through.

Thats the Spirit, i think it should be around 10-1

Mines typically 8ish chlorine isn’t really a concern of mine but it gases off

Yes...i ran a whole cycle on "snow melt"

bam0813 · Mar 8, 2023

If I remember correctly they melted a curbside size trash barrel and it made little

Thats what they say rain to snow equivalent is but I really don’t know. Let us know how it goes

What was your method? Did you just let it melt, able to get running melt of a hill etc?

I’m more concerned the snow is from seawater.
