using tap water ok for outdoor plants?

[smallclosetgrowr]

alrite so basically im not new to growing , just new to growing outdoors. i have 6 plants all in 3 gallon pots and im wondering if it is okay to water them straight from the tap i no its got chloride/chlorine in it but will it hurt them that bad? i have been using distilled water for my indoor grows but now i have more plants =more water.

as long as the water isn't off the charts it is probably fine. I just know that water around me is hard as hell and that can really mess with the ph.

I use tap water everything is going good with my grow. The thing you want to do is fill your watering containers with the tap water and let them sit out overnight , this way the chlorine evaporates. You also always want to balance your waters PH.

Can they sit for like 3 days in milk jugs?

milk containers work great for filling and letting set out for a day or two.

That exactly what I use, wash the gallon milk jug and let the water sit with top of for 2-3 days. Works great, I still ph them though, don't want to risk it.

get a soil test kit and check the pH of your soil if you can get your soil to pH 6.5 - 6.8 and you have close to 7 water .. you will be fine

I assume u r preparing your soil now for next season ?

You should be fine with out letting them sit out honestly I get lazy and use the water straight from the faucet BUT always remember to PH the water that's the most important thing.
