That is not objective towards cannabis in particular though is it?

Also if you care to read the whole article properly instead of taking sections out of context to fit the agenda you'd notice that it is referring to SPLASHED pool water on plants or plants in the surrounding area, chlorine fucks plants regardless what you believe.

"Gardeners should not worry about chlorine damage to their plants by water splashing over the edge of their pool. According to a Clemson University study, pool water splashed on nearby plants from normal pool use should have no effect. The study also stated that larger plants could tolerate the recommended concentrations of chlorine for pool water. However, spas, or pools with a higher then recommended amount of chlorine may pose a risk to plants from water that splashes over the edge. Although most plants are tolerant of chlorine in modest amounts some plants are more chlorine intolerant than others. Avocados, stone fruits, and grapevines are particularly sensitive to chlorine and can show toxicity even when chloride concentrations are low in the soil."

Read what it says, not what you THINK it says.

Just because you don't perceive any health problems in your crop doesn't mean there aren't any.
I could tell you that the sweetener in Coca-Cola 'Aspartame' directly causes cancer but no doubt you'll carry on drinking Coca-Cola because you don't have cancer right?



Please, you haven't grown 1 plant yet as good as ANY of mine!

objective towards cannabis?

i actually expected better from you tbh, lol, you may be able to fire 1 plant insults at ice, but i been doing this long enough to be able to show results from my 'old grows' ive had 16.5oz off 1 plant using 'instant water' no def's no fuck all, plants need chlorine, and yes i said plants, not cannabis, it's only at high levels it's a problem, and as for smell, i drink the stuff, and cant say i have ever sniffed at it thinking fuck there's alot of chlorine in that, maybe i'm just lucky, maybe your water is just shit.

As for coca cola, i have known about aspartame for years, and no, i dont drink it, what the fuck has this to do with me watering my 'PLANTS' with reg tap water?

get over it mate, tap water is FINE, and my plants dont show any problems when i use it, and havent for years, but i guess if you say it's bad, then it's bad right?

 

[TicKle]

Hmm mm tricky one again.... I always leave my water out overnight before feeding to the plants cuz you can really smell the chlorine in my water and I don't want that in my bud ya get me

go with what works for you, i'm just saying what works fine for me, and has for years...each to there own.

 

[TicKle]

and dont make me dig the old pics out! (i aint got a fukking clue where they are) but if i gotta go do it, i will!

 

[TicKle]

Yet another one with a complete lack of logic.

Hmmmm from the same website no less.....

[h=1]Can Chlorinated Water Harm Garden Plants?[/h][h=2]Effects[/h]

• In the soil profile across the garden, water treated with chlorine can negatively impact beneficial microorganisms that help decompose humus and overall make a good garden soil. Plants that absorb chlorinated tap water may show signs of yellow or browned leaf tips, but this sensitivity varies among plant species.
  
  

[h=2]Types[/h]

• Drinking water treated with chlorine contains minute amounts, such as less than 1 part per million, and isn't potent enough to kill soil organisms or plants. However, a dosage of chlorinated swimming pool water can cause serious plant damage.
  
  
  
• 
  

[h=2]Considerations[/h]

• Allow chlorinated tap water to rest for 24 hours so the chlorine escapes as gas before watering houseplants or other sensitive vegetation. Do not worry about irrigation or spiggot water from municipal sources. Avoid placing plants pool-side as the splashover can burn foliage and create a toxic build-up of chlorine salts in the soil.

Pics don't prove shit, just because you don't see a problem doesn't mean there isn't one which is why the aspartame analogy is relevant.

 

[TicKle]

can you possibly be anymore arrogant?

''a complete lack of logic''

mate, go fuck yourself, pics do prove shit, hence why you think your e-penis is as big as you think it is.

take your aspartame anolagy, and your logic and go shove it up your ass.......

there aint fuck all wrong with the pot i grow. as long as the leaves are green, and the bud is coming, then i would say my plants are happy.

 

[The Yorkshireman]

Tap water vs RO or even carbon filtered.

There's no comparison, doesn't even come close....

how the fuck you know that? plants use chlorine cal and mag, (all 3 found in good old tap-water)

 

[IC3M4L3]

to my knowlegde if a plant has a issue, it shows, if its hungry, leaves yellow, if i gets too much nutes, they burn, ph, well dunno but they do summet.

the water been left over night is a myth just like flushing, but it comes down to this one simple coment

do watever works for YOU!,,fuk anybody else and ther thoughts and clinical comments, do it your way,

 

[Mastergrow]

Seriously yorkie, if I gave some of my plants water that had been sitting for 24hrs what difference would I see?? Would I even notice?? People been growin weed with tap water and achieving good results for years, if u got good water which I must have why bother leaving it sittin

There is nothing logical about thinking there isn't a problem just because you don't physically see one!

I never said there is anything wrong with your pot, but there IS something wrong with the water you use.
You can water your plants with tap water if you wish and yes they will grow but not to the same potential as if they'd had pure H2O given to them, even carbon filtered water is not as good as pure H20 (RO) but it's still a million times better than straight tap water.

In don't physically SEE any problems in my plants either but I know damn straight that the fluoride I can't remove by carbon filtration alone is affecting the potential of my plants, hence RO water being the best option if it can be afforded.

By your rational straight tap water is no different from filtered or RO water in respects to the health of the plants, now that IS a load of bollocks!

evenin ball jugglers.....is there a wee lovers tiff happenin? think i remember reading sumthin about tap water not havin chlorine in it, its some other form that doesnt leave the water as a gas anymore no matter how long you leave it standing....not that i give a shit personally.

evenin ball polisher, yes we do have runnin water and we dont get hosepipe bans like you fuckin english twats coz we know how to join water pipes properly . tricks is good mate, havent seen bill fora bit, spoke to him last week though, dunno what hes up to.

 

[TicKle]

BESSE ^^

she was my first run in a 20l airpot, fed on half strength canna nutes, (back when i used them) yielded 16.5oz dry, so your saying she looks like she 'under-performed' due to using tap-water, she ended up like 6 inch from light she went that crazy in flower, all this at half the EC that most on ere would say you need to be at, like i said, if they look happy and green, then i'm happy

looking nice that tickle, u got a few extractors in ther, get a aircooled hood mate, u can do away with most of them small fans and extractors,

Well for a start off it's called learning.

I use a Brita carbon filter as do others (soon to be an industrial inline filter hooked up to my mains supply) and we have several growers here who use RO machines, in fact Jimmy does to be precise.
Also commercial hydro producers use RO machines as industry standard.

Plants may well use chlorine, calcium and magnesium but who says that the ratios and concentrations in tap water are ideal for the plant?
And then there's the other shite in tap water like fluoride (fucking nasty stuff), phosphate, silicate and by products of the chlorine reacting with organic elements (like calcium, magnesium and copper).

If you want conclusive, scientific proof why tap water is bad for plants then I suggest you go and find out for your self because if I posted study's comparing the options then I'd just get labelled a know it all cunt.

People are free to grow their plants as they wish, I'm not jumping down anybody's throat for using tap water but don't call something bollocks if you don't really know what you are talking about.

 

[IC3M4L3]

yeh jimmy does use RO and he swears by it but fuk a duck u onoly get about 30% of the water that comes out ya tap, thats 70% waste¬!! fucking nuts, all good and dandy if your loaded and can afford to pay for the huge water bills ur gunna face,but for us mere mortals its totally a waste of money

 

[Mastergrow]

I ask this earlier, anyone ever heard of caviar, the shit that's made using buds, hash oil and kief??? It's the stuff in the pic beside the wee thing off oil, im gettin a wee sample of each thing in the pic, so anyone tried or heard??
