Rain, (AC) condensation, tap, hard, soft and well water, distilled, R/O,, versus gee, I wish I could use dehumidifier water, furnace condensation water. I know you need enough of the same type of water throughout the grow. I use distilled water and no room for an R/O system and I need water options. My hard tapwater is not bad. A quick boil experiment seemed to increase the tapwater PPM, maybe I could have strained the water through a coffee filter.

About a week left for Master Kush. Purple plant and plants on the ends are Rockstar Kush phenotypes.
Next. 1 plant too many. Super cropping. Rockstar and Master Kush. O haze+C99.
Fantastic! Look at the size of those colas!!
Harvesting in 2 days. Let my tap water set out 32-24 hours. Proper PH water and soil.
I need to put my other plants in here for blooming they will be almost twice as big as these. Biggest, thickest, dankest ( amber trichromes) that I ever grown. A few plants could go longer.
About 21 days to go Rockstar Kush, Master Kush, Purple death Bubba Kush, Blueberry Kush, O haze + C99. Flushing day.
New PH pen dialed in my soil, looking good, dropped my PH pen in water, upside down, ugh. Good thing I took notes on PH'ing, nutes, and dosage amounts until my new $12 pen arrives. Supercropping plant takes a week longer than my others, so I started it a week earlier
. Nice healthy difference from the last grow at 7 weeks. Thanks @MrGrowit for helping dial in my grow system.
I found out about Drops of Balance (Perfect Gardens, thanks Mr. Grow it.) for tap water adjustment to Chloramine and other contaminates. Expensive, but may be worth it for bad tap water. I read you can change the chemical compound of Chloramine, but you are substituting one thing for another to adjust. Not sure how effective Drops of Balance is, but, I imagine it does the job.
Blueberry Kush a small bud that I trimmed.
Purple death Bubba Kush could have went 4 or 5 more days. A small bud that I trimmed.
New start
Final results: I purchased a new ESYNIC Water Tester Digital Water PH Meter, the other new yellow PH pen was from a different manufacturer. ESYNIC was good for my last PH pen and this new pen is good. Final harvest crop looks dry and bad, but, it is okay after suffering PH, Calmag problems. Did major HST and found they make bigger buds. Purple Death could have went 4 or 5 more days, Blueberry Kush is done. Also taking notes for PH, PPM for each nutrient, microbes, and how much PH up, PH down added, etc..
Next crop is super cropping O haze +C99, Blueberry, Purple death, Rock star Kush, Master Kush!
4.0, 6.86, and 9.18 solutions. Back to trusting solution testing over pens. Calibrating these pens has been hit and miss. The newest pen malfunctions the most.
I use 2 calibrated PH meters (not that I truly rely on these anymore) and the solution test for more accuracy. Low PH in my soil caused low CaMg uptake. Harvest should be good, but leaves have some damage. I will post harvest soon.
