Watering Your Weed – Is reverse osmosis purified water a new growing trend or not a big deal?

Everyone wants the best for their marijuana plants, and purified water can produce that. Let’s take a look at reverse osmosis and analyze its benefits for us and our cannabis growing goals. A lot of controversy has arisen as to whether or not using a reverse osmosis system is the optimal option for watering your cannabis plants. Several growers have said that there isn’t much point in using water that has been purified by reverse osmosis, but not all agree.

General overview of reverse osmosis

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a technique for purifying water. It is commonly used in homes in water filtration systems to remove contaminants and produce fresher tasting drinking water. A reverse osmosis water system uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove unwanted molecules, ions, and unnecessary particles from the water that our plants and we consume. The benefits of reverse osmosis for cannabis plants is that it is free from impurities, impurities and salts. Reverse osmosis water is undoubtedly the purest kind you can provide your cannabis plants with.

Although the purpose of using reverse osmosis water to grow cannabis is not to deprive your plants of nutrients, it is to refine them. By starting with a purified water sample, breeders can record nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and NPK with remarkable accuracy, paving the way for ideal development and optimal feeding.

Water that has not yet been purified, such as tap water or regular city water, has a pronounced mineral profile, meaning growers must assess the quality of the water to accurately add nutrients to ensure they are not over-feeding their plants.

Advantages of RO systems

A brief overview of the benefits of reverse osmosis:

• It can be used by home planters.

• It allows growers to incorporate nutrients with incredible precision.

• It removes most impurities, salts and impurities.

There are several benefits of very pure water that can benefit your weed growing efforts. Much of the water source already contains nutrients and minerals dissolved in it. With an electrical conductivity meter, also known as an EC meter, you can measure the number of nutrients and minerals in it. It is very difficult to accurately determine the ratios of the nutrients already present, making the process of absorbing additional nutrients much less accurate.

However, by removing all contaminants from your water, you are starting from scratch and can then achieve the ideal nutritional balance for your plants. Perhaps more importantly, cleaning your water eliminates potentially dangerous chemicals or harmful pests that can at least improve the health of your plants and at most save their lives.

Use of reverse osmosis water

Having a pure water sample gives cannabis growers the opportunity to tweak the nutrient levels to their liking, or rather the liking of the plants, all without the risk of unknown mineral levels and the presence of contaminants.

Although this technique gives you the freedom to create unique water for your plants, there are still some weed growers who do not support the use of reverse osmosis water because they say it removes the natural facet of cannabis cultivation. Therefore, you are free to decide whether or not to use reverse osmosis water in your grow, based on your feelings or standpoints about that feeling. Given this, she might be more appealing to growers who have a lot of experience and are serious about trying to maximize their plants’ potential.

How reverse osmosis systems work

To be honest, the procedure for producing purified water with the help of filters for reverse osmosis systems is quite simple. The water pressure is used to force tap water through a membrane, and as it pushes through, impurities and impurities are removed.

Some of the more commonly seen contaminants in tap water are detergents, lead, fluoride, chloramine/chlorine, pesticides and nitrates/sulphates. A good quality reverse osmosis machine will eliminate all of this and more, ensuring your plants stay happy.

Installation of a reverse osmosis system

The specific installation steps depend on the reverse osmosis machine you have. Nonetheless, here is an important guide on how to do it with an under sink installation:

Step 1: Hang the filter assembly at the height specified in the instruction manual.

Remove the cold and hot water shut-offs and install the saddle valve included with the unit.

Step 2: To ensure the color coded water supply does not get kinked, it should be cut off. Attach the added plastic tubing to the supply valve (use the illustrations and the manual).

Step 3: Shorten the waste lines/water supply to reduce the amount of tubing.

Don’t rush to cut the sizable black waste line.

Step 4: Connect the reverse osmosis system lines to the fittings at the base of the faucet. To avoid congestion in the sink, the black waste lines are routed through the base of the faucet but have no connection to the supply.

Step 5: Attach the faucet to the sink and then insert the drain pipe adapter under the sink basket. To ensure it flows downhill without loops, cut the waste line and then slide it into the adapter.

Step 6: Install the final water pipe after installing the storage tank. Clean and fill the system as instructed in the manual.

bottom line

There are two schools of thought as to whether RO water should be used; One sees RO as an intelligent way to fine-tune nutrition and remove contaminants for improved plant health, while the other calls it unnatural and refuses to accept the method of filtration. Although weed has lived and survived for millennia without stylish filtration techniques, hobby growers can still produce quality plants without reverse osmosis. But if you’re an experienced grower looking for some extra control, this method is for you. Whichever method you choose, always remember that your cannabis needs to be watered at least every two days.
