After lighting there is literally nothing more important than having right water to grow organic cannabis. In this article, we will focus on growing organic cannabis, in the soil – which doesn’t require the same water as with other methods.<\/p>\n
Without water, your cannabis plant would not be able to get the right nutrients. Water takes nutrients and oxygen through your\u00a0plant. Having the right water, adequate to your growing method is what will determine\u00a0whether your plant will grow.<\/p>\n
pH is what defines how acidic or alkaline your water is, 0 being the most acid, and 14 the most alkaline. Neutral water is at 7. Most cannabis growers will spend a lot of time focusing on pH, as cannabis grows best within the range of 6-7. pH has a direct impact on the health of your plant. For example, if the pH is too high, your plants will not manage to take-up iron. Similarly, if the pH is too low your plants will not be able to get sufficient minerals such as calcium or magnesium.<\/p>\n
Lucky for us, we grow organic cannabis in soil. With this particular approach to growing, (unlike hydroponic systems) you want microorganisms to help the plant soak up all the nutrients it can from the soil. Adjusting the pH, in this case, can actually do a lot of harm to your ecosystem. Never use reverse osmosis filter water<\/a> for growing cannabis.<\/p>\n Now that we don’t need to worry about pH, unlike with hydroponic systems, you will need to make sure that you get rid of the chlorine<\/a>. Tap water contains chlorine to prevent it from accumulating bacteria as it travels from the water treatment plant to your home. As we explained earlier, to grow organic cannabis, you want microorganisms to help the plant soak up all the nutrients it can from the soil. Adding chlorine to your soil will kill these microorganisms.<\/p>\nChlorine in tap water kills cannabis plants<\/h3>\n
