Removing Chlorine From WATER with...?

distilling water is when you evaporate it and then condense the steam back into water so there is NOTHING in it but water. Letting water sit out is NOT distilling water. It will, however, allow the chlorine to evaporate out. This can be accellerated by infusing air into the water or by raising its temperature.

I don't know if chlorine will hurt your plants. I certainly doubt it will help them. What it WILL do is have the potential to kill beneficial microorganisms in your soil, and thus, WILL, albeit indirectly, harm your plants.

the fish chlorine remover works fine.

 

forgot about the temp question. Too hot, or too cold of water can shock your plants. When you water, it is best to use tepid water (slightly above room temp).

 

i bought a water filter Jug. would that be better than tap water?

 

keep them covered and vent them periodically. this will decrease the amount of increase to your hudidity (if that made any sense).

 

those Brita type water jugs will work fine. just read the specs on the filter and make sure it filters chlorine if that is your concern. if it says "activated carbon" anywhere, that will do the trick.

 

whenever I see the edges like that, it makes me think heat stress. I would bet your growing conditions are too hot. Ijust finished telling you that those chlorine drops work fine.

 

the obvious thing to do would be to add a little epsom salt and see if that helps.

if not, if you get more yellowing around the veins, then it's likely that you do have a mg deficiency, especially if the sides of the leaves curl toward each other. It doesn't really look like Mg to me though.

 

Looks like a little heat stress in conjunction with the start of an N deficiency and maybe a tad bit over watered too. How often do you give it the ferts? I would not let the ambient temp get above 85 degrees. Different strains can handle more extreme temps but, if you stick with no higher than 85 degrees you will be safe across the board. Also, do you know the ph of your soil?

 

hello there kinda new to the site but let me help u a little bit I work at a Water Treatment plant and well to get Chlorine tested we use the chemical known as FAS but luckily u can go to ur local pet store or Walmart and look in the fish isle and get ur chlorine removal chemicals all right there i have found walmart rocks when it comes to growin supplies

 

I really thank you all for the chlorine info.... very very interesting. Have a Question though.


Q: Bottom Leaves are turning Yellow (the whole leaf)


Also


Q: Top leaves are curling in on themselves. (left to right not front to back) Hope that some how that is understandable.

Will post pics soon

 

give them a little epsom salt in water. also, still make sure they aren't too hot.

 

Cool - I will use the salt on the next watering - do you suggest a ratio?

 

1 TSP per gallon of water.
