Watering with well water...? Female
Default Watering with well water...?

I have 2 gravity fed wells, and when I went from growing in SH to bark, I used this water rather than the RO water I was making with my counter top set up. I still do-5 years going, with no problems what so ever. But I just read a thread about someone growing n bark and needing to store the RO water they water with. ? I can't imagine my phals being healthier than they are now (all but 3 of 28 are in spike and double spike) but am I missing something? I make up (5) one gallon jugs from my tap, and add the weakly mix, and store this on shelving. It lasts about 4 days. Although I'm not having any issue with this method, I'm curious if I could be doing something better/different?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I think if your results are good, stay with what you are doing. But I also think that storing information and different perspectives are valuable in case you have a sudden change in results.

I agree as well. I think being flexible in regards to changing methods and perspectives is a good thing.
