Was wondering if anyone uses store bought water like ice mountain or somerhing like that, I use ice mountain. 0 ppm and 6.0 ph was thinking of getting the 5gal jugs and a smaller 2-3gal bucket only growing 4 right now possibly 8 a clone of each. Used in promix .

I don't think it's a bad idea to use store bought water for clones and seedlings, but that is about it... I mean water is free.


Edit: My tap water comes in at a PH of 8+ and 110+ppm

I use rain water but also use Ozarka 100% spring water(no flouride) to be honest my ph meter broke almost 2yr ago,but last I checked the Ozarka was like 6.9ph but some are from different springs.Try to use rain water it works great.good luck

I used to use Brita filtered water for my cloner.The Brita lowered my tap ph by about .5.I use straight tap for my cloner now.
I just use tap.As long someones faucet does not have hard water stains they are gold.I used to use well water with high Iron with no probs.If I had hardwater I would just use less nute strength.
