Soil and water question.

RO is best, well water (imo) second. Tap can be left in a bucket for 24 hours to evaporate chlorine and is perfectly usable. I prefer to fully saturate soil mediums in pots by setting the pot in a bucket of water (waterline should not be higher than that of the soil line in the pot) and allow to soak and leach until drenched, then drained fully and monitored until barely moist.

RO? And how often and how much should you water?

I use my tap water, after letting it sit for a few days it is 7-7.1 ph, I do not need to ph it when feeding plain water. Seems to drop to 6.8-7ph if it let it sit longer than a week. Works fine for me.

Though I always use distilled bottled water to feed my clones or tiny plants. >.< just how I am, figure the larger ones can do with tap.
