Your tap ppm is fine, I am considering RO water only because using the beneficials, I can't have chlorine and I'm not convinced that even having an airstone in it as well is getting it all out as it sits.
Other than that, I was using tap water without even letting it sit before and the plants seemed fine. I go trough too much water to have it sit only now its a pita as I have to.
Your plants look great, and appear to be starting early flower? I would have to see closer.

You may need to check and see if your water company is using Chloramines for water sanitation and not just chlorine. The difference is they add ammonia and chlorine to the water forming chloramines. Aeration will not remove chloramines. A little ascorbic acid will.

Chloramine Removal

You are looking for ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The store brand is usually the cheapest without other stuff added in. 50mg per gallon will treat water with 3.8 PPM of chloramines.

Hi guys!
I checked my towns 2018 water quality thingie online and see no indication of chloramines just "residual chlorine." (?) will post pics of my little growing ladies later today.

Means you are good to go on using tap water in my book. Looking forward to seeing how they look.

That is good. If you still smell chlorine coming out of the water keep aerating it. I really should dissipate in just a few hours at most.

Mom Lady,

From (more or less) the other side of the world i just took an eye on your greenies.
They look so...green.
Wow. For sure you coloured them with some markers. Too beautiful green.


My knowledge doesn t reach the scientificial way at all... but yours clearly does. You must be studying now and then .
I m following and enjoying the measuring and numbers hehe.
Very curious to see the end.
Good luck!
Grtz

DAY 30
(3) cobs 24x7
Temp: 80
Humidity 35-40
Still feeding of last res fill

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh my lordy, I have not opened the tent since yesterday, and they have grown so much!! I love it. I am still seeing some brown spots on lady [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG], but I think it is because she may have a little soil in her mix because I ran out of coco. That could be why the PH fluctuations are messing with her. ?? not sure, but otherwise she is growing and doing so good. All ladies are larger and mom is happy. Still going off last res fill of just tap water (left out to de-chlorinate) and mega crop.

Looking nice and growing fast indeed.
Careful with the nutes...cuz i see a little bit of nute burn last pic? The brown leaf tips?
Should not be a problem in this stage, they have a certain buffer. But worth your attention i think.
A fellow and more experienced scientist who is familiar with your nutes
will make the right conclusion here , without a doubt.

Thank you hon. Yes I saw that, and put a little more water in the res to thin things out and hopefully pull the MC down to about 3.5grams a gallon from 4. I also just switched from RO water to tap water...hmmmmm
