They did a city flush before the cold in October. It improved ppm lower and better pH 7.4 which I then down or use to bring pH up when needed.
You should test the water coming into the house before it inters the house …
You really don’t want to be using water that has ran through your softener , unless your using the blue bags of salt …
The morten and other brands aren’t plant friendly…

And what is the substrate in the water softener system? Potassium chloride?

You should look at investing into a r/o system to clean those salts out of your water at the tap.
Your adding salt to your plants everytime you water. You don’t have to take my advice , it’s your grow after all

It says evaporated additive-free doesn’t say anything about cautioning plant or lawn use…
Question: my previous experience had been some froth when fed. Seeing it this time but not very pronounced.
Make and model of water softener please
Working on finding paperwork - rental I’m lucky they kept it all…
Well the chem OG is feeding 5.64ph 1210ppm now reading 5.72@1131ppm.
I gave 3ml silica 5ml Cal mag 15ml each A And B - doubling the amount used yesterday redoing the buckets. I added the nutes to main bucket but drained off almost a gallon then added the quart of water she drank, stirring the AB main feed in bucket of water. Then I poured it back into hydro bucket.

If your putting something that says “salts” on the bag into you water. Your going to want to remove that before using it on “these” plants

Yep that’s my dilemma but didn’t have these issues with first two grows.
But I changed my main feed from a three part to a two part. No issues burning finished last grow with this two part stuff. I did add more Cal Mag and silica and main nutes redid bucket new water yesterday. Added same amount as yesterday increasing my ppm’s. Feed guide says 5 milliliters to 9 ml/Gal in the beginning of veg. then 9ml to 14ml. So I have it the low end feed increased it to 30ml each total. 1131 ppm @5.72 pH @PharmerBob
