I just pour my tap water straight into my soil but each to their own I just have no time or patience to be messing around with ingredients and meters. Tap water is pH 8 plus and ppm is somewhere round a hundred, Ive read a lot in the same boat who found that it works a treat too.

I’m not swaying OP for or against their water. Use what is working for you. I personally use distilled because my water in AZ is trash. I would never give the advice to not be patient enough to mess with ingredients or meters though. And I definitely would never cite articles proving my laziness. You get out what you put in. Use what’s working for you, and is controllable and in your budget.

Was that pic taken after you watered? And how long?

It’s been about 5 days since they’ve been watered and it’s lightly damp I was going to put a little cal-mag with the mix to see if it’s help
What do you use the baking soda and lemon juice for ??

That pic was taken yesterday about 4-5 days since it’s last feeding I wanted to just oust straight water on this feeding but really thinking about throwing that cal-mag in there!

My plants don’t like not getting water every other day and my mothers in #1 pots drink me out of house and home. They need it every day. So much of a chore I’m days away from re cloning them and starting them over

And straight water or toss a little something in it
Thanks I was unaware about that method will save me from buying ph up/down
