Straight from the city means also full of chloramines, fluorides, etc. A filter should be used at least cuz, to get rid of those… jmo

Good call on the filter, but if not available, a trip to the water store will do the job.
@Yetigrows I get 5 jugs at a time, and never need to worry.

I got this bad boi in line with my water supply:
Chlorashield filter for a small boy filter. No more chlorine or chloramine!

Chlorine / chloramines bonds with air better than water… I know a few fish breeders (discus in fresh, clowns in salt), both on city water that sucks. Both use reservoirs with aeration to remove chlorine / chloramines. One has 150g stock trough, the other has a few 42g rubbermaid heavy duty garbage cans, float switches for auto top off, and aeration on them 24/7. If they can have success with those fish, there is no chlorine / chloramines left. That crap is toxic to healthy adult fish, and those babies are super sensitive in comparison…

Dang, Sorry I’m late to the party !
Great to be working with Yeti here ! Look forward to all the testing he has planned !
I think the calls for side X side with clones will be a kick! The only reason I say this is I have worked with growers, large and small, auto’s and photos across all media with consistent results so I really do appreciate some skepticism and the LARGE audience!
The only thing that is mandatory in the use of BBP is dilution with R/O or distilled water and making the applications as perscribed…so Thanks for all the observers…with that, I turn the stage over to Yeti !!!
OOOopps…forgot. No other foliar fertilizer applications may be made…

Hey there @Syn I put this in the garden hose line and it’s definitely the ‘shizzle’! It gets rid of so much stuff, and lasts a long time with zero water waste…

Just thinking out loud here. Would that be because of potential “contaminants” in the water that might precipitate out some of the ingredients in BBP? I know for example, too much calcium in a reef tanks water would precipitate out as “snow” in the water if you tried to add more. Something similar here, requiring the BBP to be on a pure water baseline to start? Buying a bottle of distilled is cheap enough.
Word of caution on the R/O requirement though. Depending on the user, is it RO or RO/DI? And whats their filter maintenance like? I kept reef tanks for 20 years, and an RO/DI purifier is standard fare. But just cause you have one, doesn’t mean your water is perfect, especially if you’ve slacked off on filter replacements. Requiring only Distilled Water might be a little more control over your input water. And honestly, a gallon of distilled water is still cheap at the supermarket…

I’m going to use distilled.
Already have the bottles ready!

@Nagel420, I’m not too concerned about forming precipitants, but rather metabolic efficiency for our intended purposes…
You’re point is well taken about R/O and DI filtration…I believe most growers using these systems are aware of filtration issues if they regularly check their pH/ EC of the produced water!
Hope that helps !
