Water, Water everywhere! Female
Default Water, Water everywhere!

Hello everyone,

I have decided over the weekend that I am switching to SH instead of bark. I am not having any luck with bark everything is rotting in my pots and I am just running into a brick wall.

I have also purchased a pH pen and TDC pen, I have found that my tap is running 8.1 and 350 ppm. I tested my Brita filter, that is running 6.5 and 250 ppm. I feel that this is also a big reason on why I am having so many issues.

So my question is, if I start buy distilled water, do I need to start adding Cal Mag to the water? Or should I just mix in a low dosage of MSU fertilizer around maybe 50 ppm?

Either way I have another question, should I also do a monthly flush with just pure distilled water?

I am very grateful for all the help that they board has given me so far. Thank you everyone, especially Ray for helping me with all my issues!
