Hi everyone the PPM of my tap water is around 450, I am going to be growing aeroponicly for the first time and was wondering if this will be OK, I can;t afford to buy a RO set up.
My PPM is pretty high

I will be using the full line of fox farm nutes and according to their feeding schedule for seedlings and clone the ppm should be 700-840

I don't usually recomend carbon filters, but you might try a home water filter like Britta for a cheap alternative. I'm not sure how much it will improve your numbers, but it's worth a try. You might also consider bottled water.
However you decide to go, don't forget to check and adjust your PPM for your base water count. If your water starts off at 150ppm, and your target ppm is 700, your real target ppm will be 850 (150 base + 700 target).
Good luck!
