New Grower Tested my well water today..

[FadedMalone]

My well waters ppm is 216 and ph at .8. Think my well water will be good for a soil grow? I didn't find any thing using the search function, I'm sure this has been covered before.

That's about what my city water reads, ppm at around 250 and pH between 8 and 8.5. I used it for a long time before installing an RO filter. It should work fine. With the high ppm you may find that you need little or no cal/mag supplements. You also won't be able to use the AN pH Perfect products. They were designed or use with RO and are recommended for use with ppm below 125. I tried it with my tap water and the results were very poor.

I might just continue using distilled water unless I end up buying a RO system.

I don't see the need to continue with distilled water unless you are planning on using the AN nutes.

I'm going to be organic from here on out, my grows have been so much better in soil. Not sure what nute line to use yet tho. I water all my outdoor plants and garden with my well water and haven't had any problems doing that. I thought about the cal/mag situation and would be nice not to have to use to much of that

Hi Faded, Have you ever looked at Aurora Roots Organic nutes? Top gear. And, they have a 5ml master feed schedule that can be tweaked easily, if desired. I don't know if you can procure where you're at- its readily available in the States... And, they have a Master starter kit thats around $50/us. I've used them through 3 grows, and I have more than 1/2 remaining. Their cal/mag solution is called Elemental, and it is a powder that you surface dress and water in. Works great, and easy peasy. Just my 2 pennies
What ever you choose, very best to you!

A true bargain, Brother! High quality! Word- do NOT try to get a good whiff of most of the bottles.. Brutal. Just brutal... The Trinity product smells like T Rex vomit (i'm reaching...) and the Surge is straight up "every kind of rancid shite known to the animal kingdom!! lolol

I've been wanting to use their dirt for a couple years now but can't find it here. I may have to have some shipped.
