I checked my rain water today and filtered the dirt out. The water has slightly yellow/brownish tint to it. I think this is from the leaves on the ground, there is a nearby tree. Is this yellow/brownish color ok?

Thanks...

This water had some dirt in it since it came off the ground. Should I just filter out the dirt and boil water?

So I've used a pillow case to collect rain water by setting the pillow case on the ground and letting it absorb with water which I then ring out into a bucket. I've collected over a gallon so far during a hard rain. Is this water ok to water plants with.

I water with my teas personally. Plants love it. It is almost impossible to get nute burn by using organics.

I see chlorine and not chloramine listed in there so you should be fine with letting water sit for 24 hours

I only use regular water about 3 times the entire grow. Usually do a tea every watering to repopulate microbes.

If your cities water uses chloramine, it will not evaporate by sitting out. If they use chlorine then sitting out will do the trick. I would call them and ask what they use and if they do use chloramine then you need to do something to break the bond of chloramine or change your water source. To...

Make sure to use non-chlorinated water or it will kill your beneficial microbes.

I'm on first grow but I have friends who have been making teas for years. Basic compost tea per gallon of water are a couple of handfuls of castings and compost, a tbsp of molasses, and a tbsp of kelp. I use kelp meal by down to earth myself. Of course there are different types of teas you can...

Now that I think about it, I remember you saying something like that a couple weeks ago about cal mag, but in the state of panic I was in over my dying plant, I completely forgot.

I'm brewing a tea with crab meal as week speak. I was going to use this as quick solution to in the mean time in order to give the plant what it needs before it dies. Even if it kills of beneficial microbes, the tea should repopulate those right?

Thanks for the help...I bought some cal mag. I will use this next watering to see if it helps. On the bright side I still have a couple good looking ones. Different strand. The ones we have bee talking about are La Con. This one is jack herer.

I've been using tap water because it naturally has cal mag in it

The thrip damage is silver and there is not a lot if them either. I think I caught the thrips early. This is thrip damage

I did brew a neem tea to soil and used just a little on the soil...would the neem meal do this?

My ph meter is designed to be put in wet soil 4 inches deep and it registers ph at 7.0 So I should just flush plant then?

That's nute burn? All organic so I don't use nutes. I make compost teas but just this morning I tried something new. Blue mountain organics super plant tonic. Directions say 2 tablespoons per gallon. I have a soil ph meter which says 7.0 and as for ppm I'm not sure, but I bubble my water for at...
