RO water is fine for some grow methods, for sure. Growing in organic supersoil with just water and no additives or nutes whatsoever, just straight water, you (usually) wouldnt want to use RO, because the mineral content in water is generally much more beneficial, at least in my style of growing. Many people get deficiencies in organic soil if using just RO, but are fine using tap/well/spring in comparison. There's no right or wrong way to grow, I teach what works for me.
and I am more than happy with my results and experiences, people seem to love it a lot too. I love organic soil and water, and I've taught a lot of first time growers who have gone to produce unbelievable results. Of course there are a million ways to do it and I'm not saying my way is the only correct way to grow. It's what I've found I prefer and is easy to produce a lot of high quality flower, allows you to spend more time looking at your plants.Sea water: you can add 3-6ml of ocean water per gallon of water, about once a month. This is a tiny amount, the extremely diluted salt will not harm your plants. Sea water is used in organic growing in al types of agriculture for its trace mineral content and there are scientific studies on it. I was skeptical, but plants love it. It's the only thing I'll ever add to my water, if I even remember. Sometimes I go half a year without doing it, some grows I try to keep on schedule and do it. It wont make or break it, but it definitely brings good trace minerals which may help the plant's overall health and expression.
*Do not water with straight ocean water by itself, this is a very diluted concentration. Just as you wouldnt water with pure nutes, you dilute a small amount into your water. 3 to 6 milliliters of ocean water per gallon of regular water.
Here's a photo of Anaphylaxis (Peanut Butter Breath x Deadly Sativa) attached. It's extremely high quality bud. Has a long creeper effect and at its peak is an extreme sativa mind with intense emotional weight to every thought... super dreamy and unique, then mellows out to a heavy indica crash feeling like you "went through something" this is a real special keeper pheno for sure and I will be breeding with her.
I also have a bunch of Moby Grape just starting to bloom. That's another thugpug cross he made with my Putang. Very excited to see how they go!
