Indoor How long to leave phd water out before applying

[carl brutananadilewski]

So how long do u leave out the water with nutes or no if ur doing a non organic grow with synthetic nutes? Or do u let it sit out to stabilize b4 putting it on

 

[Dudeski]

I thought it could sit out a couple days. But it may have to be re-adjusted before using to feed.

if you live in USA tap water is good to go right from the faucet and no need to leave sit

So after adding ph up and down u can give it to the plant?

 

[Dudeski]

Yes, its what i did. What nutes are you using?

Most people I've talked to leave their water sit before adding nutes for a day or so. The main reason for letting the water sit out is to let any chlorine or chloramine evaporate out. Especially in an organic situation chlorine can be very bad for the microorganisms that are driving the soil. Even in a non-organic grow, though, chlorine/chloramine is not the best thing for the plants roots. Bubbling with an air stone helps speed up the process and keep the water nice and oxygenated, but is optional. There is also some purpose to sitting out to normalize the temperature of the water. For example, in the winter the water in my house will come out the tap at a very chilly 47 degrees or so. So about the same as the temp after sitting for a few days in your average refrigerator. Hitting roots with that water almost straight from the tap would be a BIG temp shock. Letting the water sit lets it come up to room temperature IF you have overly cold water.

For most I've talked with it's let it sit out overnight, then add nutes and other additives, then adjust the PH, then give to the plant.

Exactly! I leave mine in the tent bubbling so its the same temperature as the soil

Im in az using a ro system. But just for peace of mind i could let it sit out over night.

Im using two diffrent nutes for two diffrent plants. One organic grow with earth juice the other flora nova grow and bloom.

 

[Dudeski]

Will u use cal/mag or silica?

I was told calmag before nutes. The silica acts as a ph up so there is less chemical adjustment of ph. I didnt ask clear enough, sorry.

 

[carl brutananadilewski]

I use both. By general hydroponics calmag organic and silica synthetic. Thats a good tip tho
