water 1200 ppm before nutes?

Maybe a picture would help. Wafflehouse is good with advice for these situations. Maybe with some pic's we can help. The first video I watched about growing said you should adjust for existing ppm when deciding on nute levels. That would mean you would want a ppm of around 2400 ppm, the 1200 you have + 1200 you want to add. I wouldn't make that judgement without a picture. VV

i fill up my water at those self serve fill machines. collect a bunch of those 5 gallon jugs and your set. 1.50 for 5 gallons. so its about 9 dollars for 30 gallons. i know it adds up over time, but its alot better than forking over 1600 dollars to get your water right. if anyone asks why u get so much water. say your fish cant live in tap water and they need clean water.

i bought 55 gallons told them it was for fish,it cost 5 dollars for 5 gallons here,it cost 45 dollars to flush my plants today,i have tried to get my son to bring my camera home and upload pics,it has started a fued already,tonight i was seeing red because i wanted to take pics of this problem 3 weeks ago,now it has cost me dearly,im just going to tell him no camera no monthly university allowance.it only happens with the rhin not the ice,not the ak 47 and not the blueberry,my guess is the rhino does not need much nutes and it doesnt like something in the water.ive got to many strains going at once but i like variety and new things and challenges,but this rhino was the first unless you count bagseed in grade school over 30 years ago.

the guy at the shop is a dumb fuck, just like budsmoker said all that will happen is it will slow the filter down a bit and you will have to change out the sediment prefilter more often but regardless you need it bad. my old house the water was 280 ppm and i thought it was bad, now at my new place the tap water is 35-40 ppm with a ph of almost 8 and the plants hate it so my new grow is with bottled water so far until i can figure out where to mount a ro filter, but yeah at my old place i used a britta filter just to cheap out but it brought my nasty water down to around 60 ppm and more than a half point in ph so in the mean time i would get one of those, as for your flowering plants give them distilled water from here on out for best results, i mean shit even if you flush with that shit water you are still giving them more shit than most people do nutes

lol again if your water is 1200 ppm out the tap I hope your not drinking it as something is wrong and you should have iy checked and have a softner and filters just to drink it

I would not use any of that water on your plants or even to bathe or drink it yourself. Get bottled water if you can to drink at least and for your plants. If you cant, then collect some rain water in big 55 gallon buckets just for the plants and if that doesn't work, then get water from a lake/river which should be even cleaner than your tap water. There must be a source of water around you that you can access beside what comes out your taps. Your best bet is to flush your plants with clean water and then keep them on a feeding program with the cleanest water you can get.
