Re: Using water that hasnt sat for 24 hrs
So long as your not using beneficial bacteria or any life type products It doesn`t really matter mate, if your using chemical based ferts you could say it`s possibly beneficial in keeping a hydro set up sterile around your roots. Don`t get me wrong you don`t wanna be changing out freezing cold tap water like it is from tap during winter months cus you`ll shock and stall the plants, basically so long as the water is around room temp and not too cold you`ll be sound, tap water this time of year isn`t really cold as well, but dip it with a thermometer to see if it`s around 18 to 22c and your good to go.
It`s a different story if your growing organically and trying to keep the microlife happy in the soil.

Re: Using water that hasnt sat for 24 hrs
ive stopped using voodoo juice beneficials for my roots but do you think it would affect the hydroguard usage because that contains bactillus amliqifaciens (ignore spelling).jimmi2scoops wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 4:10 pmSo long as your not using beneficial bacteria or any life type products It doesn`t really matter mate, if your using chemical based ferts you could say it`s possibly beneficial in keeping a hydro set up sterile around your roots.

Re: Using water that hasnt sat for 24 hrs
My initial thoughts are yes but not just straight away, shits gonna gonna die off quicker than it would usually and that`s if it`s alive to start, i mean how long does stuff like that live for. But just add it in morning when chlorine has evaporated ;)
That said a lot of it is a load of bollox imho cus one thing peeps can`t just evaporate off from tap water by letting water stand 24/7 is a by product from what`s added to the water before it reaches the tap, basically the chlorine and amonia they add to tap water combines on way to tap to form a by product called chloramine.
I wouldn't worry too much, think of it like this if it kills beneficial bacteria`s then i`m pretty sure it will kill off the bad stuff as well and in so doing help keep things sterile in general. :D

Re: Using water that hasn't sat for 24 hrs
Slightly different to you Darren as my roots are not sitting in water but i do use a wilma and i fill it up straight from the hot and cold tap so i do not have to mess about waiting for water to get to room temp.

Re: Using water that hasn't sat for 24 hrs
I often use water straight from the tap for my vegging plants but always make sure it's the correct temperature. Never had problems.
