watering with K softened water? #2

so i just moved into a new place and it has in inline water heater! because of this we can't run untreated water. yes it is the bomb, but what about watering my babies? i've been there for two weeks and do roughly the same thing i did where i just had crazy hard water: mix about a third or half tap water and the other component is RO water. no problems yet, but i would love to hear from people who already have tried running this stuff.

thanks in advance

oh yeah, i'm running hempys with straight perlite.

sorry for the duplicate...not even a view in general growing LOL

really? no one has run weed with K softened water?

piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

It's going to depend upon how hard your water is; lots of carbonate hardness means more KCl getting dumped into the water to replace it. If you're in an area with 100-150 ppm calcium carbonate, that's not a big deal. If you're starting with tap water that has several hundred ppm CaCO3, that's a big slug of chloride.

Fortunately, potassium is used by plants- although the chloride is undesirable.

I've been using the softened water @ between 50% and 25% mixed with RO. I seem to be having some lockout issues, though it could be I'm watering my hempys less this go round. I was watering the hempys every other day but they seem to be able to go quite a bit longer than that. ....still wondering about other peeps experiences/thoughts.
