u lose some of the chlorine.. u wont lose it all.. and then the chlorimine stays cause it doesnt evap like chlorine.. so the tap water will still alter organic nutrients.. is what i was told.. fox farm being chemical and organic it really was made to be used with tap water so its not a big deal ..

A couple of things about tap water and just strictly for FYI purposes.
With chlorine, the only thing that will get rid of chlorine is to allow it to effervesce. with cholramine, it is the clorine that is locked in with liquid ammonia which not only keeps the chlorine dissolved in solution, but is approximately 30 times more efficient (deadly) than chlorine by it's self.
To get rid of as much chlorine as possible in 24 hours it is recomended that you put the water in a container with the widest surface area possible. This is due to the fact that the majority of gas exchanges occur at the meniscus (the surface skin of the water.) so ripples on the surface is what you want so use an air line with a stone or a circulating pump with the output either fountaining or cascading to create ripples. it takes about 24 hours to do a 5 gal bucket.

With chloramine you first must break the bond between the ammonia and chlorine so the chlorine can go to atmosphere.
You can get a commercial solution from a pet shop or nursery with pond supplies.
The other way is to run an aquarium or pond and the bacteria (nitrosomonas) will feed on the ammonia and break the bond with the chlorine and convert the ammonia into Nitrite. In well established ponds or aquaria, the Bacteria (nitrobacter) in the substrate (rocks and soil and etc.) will convert nitrite into nitrate which is a great thing for plants.

Yes I do. The Mindbender grows tall and thin. So far Im not a fan. The Sage looks great and is starting to smell great as well. Day 24 of flower so we shall see what happens.

With the aquarium drops are you adding anything funky to the water that could harm the plants? Is there any way that the chemicals in the aquarium drops could mess up the nutrients or enzymes in the plant? I dismissed that idea at first because I thought it seemed unnatural(I'm not trying to go for organic or anything I just didn't want to hurt my plants), but now it's starting to sound like I really ought to be using those drops

I will be going to an aquarium store asap to get some of that stuff

Ive never used them and never will. Why fix whats not broken?

lol well why not improve if the science makes sense?
If the aquarium drops can't hurt and don't cost much, it makes me happy knowing I'm not poisoning my plants with chloramine
My nutrients also have beneficials in then, so I why am i paying all this money for the beneficials if I'm just sending them to their chloramine induced death as soon as I mix up my nutes?

hey 5000 joints.. i was looking at ur grow journal on the old gardenscure. was just wondering.. about a strain u crossed. with the godbud.. u said u crossed sour diesel with godbud and u seemed excited on the smell and growth.. what was ur review on that plant.. its tough trying to skim threw like 100 pages of grow journal lol............... i think u called it Sour God.. or something.. just wondering like yield .. and flowertime on it ? .. this guy i know crossed his Sour Diesel.. with God Bud.. and Calls it Sour Bud.. and takes 9 weeks- 10 WEEKS to finish up.. not a bad plant.. just wanting to see if urs was similar to his our wat.. very wierd how 2 random people did the same cross lol could be diff sour diesel.. but the godbud was bc bud depots.

It was alright. Smelled better than it tasted. The God Bud ruined a perfectly good Sour Diesel. LOL
It had big fluffy buds that smelled like green apples at first then went to full on sour fruity.
