    Default Is to much iron bad?

    Hey so I live in the country and I get my water out of the well and for some reason we get a lot of iron in our water and I usually water my plants with water from a store but wanna save money and just use my tap water but since I have a lot of iron don't know if I should.

    Copied shamelessly from elsewhere...

    "To much Iron can cause a problem that looks like a pH imbalance, Brown spotting on the top leaves, mainly fan leaves. Can affect the whole plant."

    but nothing seems to say how much is too much... I suppose it's a case of try it & see...

    Have you looked at your local water companies guff on what is in the water and how much? might be an idea, then you know what group of nutrient brand is best suited for that water. I know that in the uk we have plant magic nutes that are formulated for uk water and bio bizz is for holland area etc etc. If in the states i would hazard a guess at there being specifically formulated nutes for states of us. ro water may be the way if you have naturally occuring high levels of iron. gl

    Cool

    I'm in Florida, and I use reg pump water. Lots of iron and even more Lime. Has no effect on my plants at all. If anything, I think it is actually better. Use to grow beautiful Tomato's, before using it on Marijuana. good luck and happy growing
