  1. can i keep a 5 gallon bucket inside my growtent full of tap water thats going to sit out befor i ajust the ph then give it to my plants. or whould the light or anything ruin the water ...
     
  2. Depends how long you intend to leave it there. A day or two won't hurt.
     
  3. may wanna throw some mosquito bits in there if it's lying around for a few days or with water constantly in it
     
  4. will having a black bucket affect any of the plants cause its not reflective
     
  5. nope, but you are adding humidity
     
  6. Unless you have a lid on the bucket :)
     
  7. does all the shit get out of tap water that is in something with a lid
     
  8. ...How does all the stuff leave the tap water without a lid? It doesn't just hop out, it settles at the bottom of the bucket.
     
  9. My 2 Cents

    I will assume this is your first grow (Congrats). Before you pop a single seed. There is two items that are a must if you want to play safe and cool from the get go.

    1) Digital PH Tester
    2) Digital PPM/TDS/EC meter

    You can find it very cheap in the 'Net' these days

    Second step. Take a reading of the PPM/TDS/EC what ever meter you get. If your Tap water is over 300 PPM (in my case) get a Reverse Osmosis System (very cheap these days). Don't gamble if you really want to hit it right in the sweetspot.

    That is one cent ... :D

    The second cent; all the above suggestions are absolutely right.
