If u leave it sit out for 24 hours the chlorine will evaporate or check out ur local water content via the interwebz or give em a bell n find out..may aswell just out of curiosity at least but whatever works for u man

If I do that I will have problems all over again, my grows are very personal lol not shared either.

The tap water here is like swimming pool even I don't drink that water lol my fridge has a filter I drink that. And only have very low plant count so not much water needed lol.

Fuck council pool water I mean tap water.

But if I was a production man or have allot more plants I would use tap water but that's never my intention and never will be.

Shit if I have extra that can get cured for when ever :lol:

But I did use it and came across shit loads of issues I didn't know what's what lmao, so I eliminate tap water and keeping ambient temps so now the ladys are asking for more food lol.....

all is good with them out of the way.

silica will help man u can buy a small bottle ro see for yourself. It not only strengthens stems but does alot more..here's the one I use
the small bottles lasted me ages as I wanted to make sure it works first so next tin I'm getting the big one @lahadaextranjera that's the brand I use

Haha. I just enjoy growing so much I wanna get every method down to a T. Coco seems simple enough especially since I'm getting pretty good with reading my girls so I'd say any coco issues I could correct very easily...was thinking with coco I'll do a drip feed method cuz the watering every day seems a bit of a ball ache
