What is the BEST WATER for GROWING CANNABIS?

What’s the best water source for growing your cannabis? Most people will just turn on their taps and use their household water, but you’ve likely heard that you’re better off with distilled or Reverse Osmosis water for growing your cannabis, but why is that? And what is distilled and Reverse osmosis water and where do you get it? What about well or lake water? That should be a good source of water to grow healthy plants, but is it? You may have heard that others have had success using water from your air conditioner or dehumidifier, is that an option?

Water quality is critical when it comes to creating all life including plants, but people generally use tap water for growing and then add loads of different products to the water in order to feed their plants without checking the quality of their water. Then they’re surprised with their mediocre results. Using the wrong kind of water makes your plants much more susceptible to illnesses and attracting insects and fungi infestations, which can lead to poor quality flowers once harvested.
In order to get great quality flowers and to make the most out of the nutrients used, the most important thing is to make sure that you know your water, which means knowing what’s in the water. Secondly, you’ll need to work within specific pH and EC levels so that your plants can absorb everything they need to flourish. Keep in mind that these levels vary depending on the phase your plants are in and the strain grown. This is why you absolutely need pH and EC meters to test your water, when growing cannabis, although this video is more about different types of water and how and if they can be used.
Potential problem areas with the water you use are Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH, sodium, boron, silica, Chlorides and Chloramines. Keep that in mind when selecting your water source. The goal is to use water that has a pH of 6.5 or less and TDS that is under 200 ppm. PH tells you how acidic the water is or isn’t and Electro Conductivity or EC or TDS tells you the total dissolved solids content of your water. You need to test your water with a pH tester and EC or TDS meter to make sure you know what you’re starting out with. Generally, you will need to start with water that has a very low EC, the lower the better.
Always keep in mind that water is a natural solvent and absorbs whatever minerals it comes into contact with. So if the soil in your area has a lot of minerals so will your water, minerals that are not particularly good for growing which will raise the EC.

How Does a Reverse Osmosis System Work? https://youtu.be/Quy_Mg87Tsk
1. Reverse osmosis water
2. Distilled water
3. AC or Dehumidifier water
4. Bottled mineral or spring water
5. Rain water
6. River or Lake water
7. Well water
8. Tap water from a municipal water source.
à These systems can be small “Point of Use” systems like this HUM Water Saver 75 Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System all the way up to huge municipal water systems. Shop HUM Water Saver 75 here https://waterestore.ca/products/hum-water-saver-reverse-osmosis-system-75-gallons-per-day
These Reverse Osmosis Drinking water systems remove 90% of the minerals, including lead, sodium, bacteria and chemicals like chlorine, herbicides and pesticides from your municipal, lake or well water supply. To learn all about the benefits of Reverse Osmosis water check out my “Is RO water Good for You” YouTube video here. https://youtu.be/WJ6bRqiFIFM
These POU systems can be installed under the kitchen sink, or if you have access to a utility area in the basement or adjacent room, they can be installed anywhere within about 20 feet before you need a booster pump. If you’re handy you can install it yourself or hire a plumber for a professional installation.
