Live Stoner Chat EC and pond water

[albertaauto]

So my target EC is 2.0. I'm running Canna line nutrients. My pond water is .5 EC.
So by mixing up 1.5 of Canna to get to 2.0
Am I missing out on .5EC of nutrients? Should I mix up to 2.5 to get full 2.0 of Nutrients?
And I wanna keep using pond water and not have to pay for RO.

I have to ask this, when you say pond water, do you mean water from a pond or is that slang for tap water? Forgive my ignorance but if you mean actual pond water from a pond of completely still water I wouldn't use that in my garden. Its teaming with bacteria and not good ones, not to mention whatever else ran off into the pond.

Im not sure on that but if it works...I just worry because cannabis is a bioaccumulator, so even if it doesn't metabolize certain things it still absorbs them into plant tissue and holds on to them. It's used as a crop to clean contaminated ground.

That's how you do it. And then if they want more you can add more. That 0.5 in the water does have nutrients in it so they add together
