Doesn't look too high in anything. Is there a tds? You want to get rid of the chlorine if your organic it kills beneficial bacteria. I wouldn't drink that water without filtering. You can get the chlorine out with zerowater or Britta they have filters that attach to your hose that have carbon from coconut shells they pull out the chlorine they are like thirty bucks and you can run like 500gallons thru them. You don't want to drink chlorine you can boil it out or leave the water out for a few days as long as there isn't chloramine (chlorine + ammonia) doesn't evaporate in it. Chlorine kills probiotics inside of you that break down your food.

I will look. I use an airstone to bubble the water over night. 1 to 2 gallons @ a time.

These are the only these reports.

Looks good to me nothing is really high. But it you have a meter you can just check the TDS of a cup of water. You don't want it too high but I'm guessing yours isn't that high idk how to convert that chart into TDS. If you have too much calcium or other minutes you can cause a lockout in small mediums but I don't think you have a mineral heavy water TDS is total dissolved solids you wanti to be 30s tds lockout meaning nutrient lockout where the plant can't absorb nutrients because there is too much minerals in the soil. If your not on well water your probably good because it comes from a huge resivour that didn't leech minerals in the ground. Like how they have to add water softeners

I am very familiar with tds it is 62.7ppm. tested the 2 gallons bubbling now. It has always stayed the same usually. no well water here. I have had no problems at all I was just curious on others water reports and if ours is good or horrid lol

As long as you don't get bad things happening in your grow like stuff wrong with your leaves I wouldn't worry if your getting good results. But still good to hear others input I think you don't want calcium too high and magnesium and sodium
