To Much Iron?

tesla · Nov 3, 2008

Ok I read a lot but haven't really seen this discussed I am growing and the water looks horrible. PH level is good but the water looks like umm... I will throw up a pic and you can see. I don't know if this is a question cause my plants are loving life right now but the water is almost like mud cause of the iron in it... plants are like 8 weeks old and looks GREAT!!!! Will this make the bud taste like crap? Anyone have the same problems? It is well water Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Got a TDS meter you can check it with?

If you have been using is for several weeks without problems then it might be ok its not going to make your buds taste weird.

Growdude .. No TDS meter.. I am asking Santa for one.

Been using the same water since they were seeds I started a grow journal you can check out what I mean Was just worried about the taste.
Guess I can't post where my journal is for some reason must wait till 15 posts?

Buy an RO system. They are on ebay all the time for under 100 bucks.

:yeahthat:

Try to buy at least a 3 stage one. I hear their superior to others.

BuddyLuv · Nov 9, 2008

hell I got a 5 stage unit for 80 bucks shipped. You just have to look for the people selling ones they bought and never ended up using. It paid for itself after just three res changes.

Is that municiple water?

Someone would wind up in jail here if that came out of our taps.

Nope well water non treated, It leaves rust stains everywhere were it sits. I messed up this grow. It has effected the plants, plants stopped growing. Next time I will use a differant water source.

megan23247 · Nov 10, 2008

lesson learned. I am sure your next grow will be fine if you use ro or distilled water
