Is regular ol tap water ok to use?

I've had excellent results using Tap water, and Chlorine can be bubbled out with an air stone, but most of us also have Chloramine along with Chlorine, and the Chloramine cannot be bubbled out. I've been using a great product called Prime, from Seachem. It's an aquarium water conditioner that removes Chlorine and Chloramine very well! Only requires 0.1ml/gallon which I measure with a one ML syringe, no needle, and fill to the 10cc line(100cc in 1ml, marked mostly by 10, 20, 30, up to 100. 10cc/gallon). The Prime bottle itself has a dropper on the cap that's covered with a sticker which can be removed to measure by the drop. Easily explained on the bottle. I was originally using R/O water which I'd buy and carry home. Decided to try a small bottle of water conditioner for Betas, I believe, that removed Chlorine and Chloramine, so I wouldn't have to buy and carry water, hopefully.. Wow! I was amazed at how much healthier my plants became. The Calcium, Magnesium, and Iron in the water must have been the difference..? And the soil was very healthy with plenty of Microbes, which leads to incredible defense against other problems, especially stress and insect problems. I haven't used this soil yet, but I've got to give it a try! And I would never use Tap water without removing the Chlorine, as well as Chloramine. I'm sure you'd still have some life in the soil, but a thousand times more will remain and work together so well, your root zone can easily handle water pH swings, as I haven't used a pH meter in a few years! Nothing like great, living, soil. And this is very similar to what I'd make up myself for a pretty high price. I'm excited about this soil and am going to try a few bags as soon as I get a chance!

Is this mix with regular soil or coco?

Hello, thanks for reaching out! Purple Cow IndiCanja is a compost-based growing mix that can be referred to as a "super soil" however it contains neither topsoil nor coco. It does contain all of the necessary nutrients and minerals to take your plant from seed to harvest with no inputs other than water.

Can I add organic lobster compost and living worm castings to it?

Hi Jory, Our soil blend is designed with all of the fertility needed to take your plant from seedling to harvest, so no additional inputs are necessary. We've found that adding fertility inputs can actually lead to plant burn because there's so much already present in the soil mix. If you would like to use an amendment, we recommend using a liquid biological like our CX-1 to make the nutrients present in IndiCanja more available rather than adding more fertilizer. Thanks for the question!

Is the bone meal and poultry litter used in this soil sourced from organic farms? I emailed the company with no response so i would assume not

I would think so, but no response from the company isn't good at all. They've answered other questions, so maybe because of The 4th of July? I was hoping this was a "Hot" soil, as it surely sounded like it. Ocean Forest by Fox farms is too hot, I've been told, and they don't claim that. I was thinking of adding a bag of this to some Pro Mix, then feeding lightly, organic liquid nutes, and boosting it during flower. Hopefully someone from Purple Cow will give an answer. I wish Big Roots was sold here, but it may be in California only. I'm no Bio Research Scientist, lol, unless that just means playing with your Guano? WHERE YOU AT PURPLE COW? UNANSWERED QUESTIONS ARE SEEN AS YOUR HIDING? I KNOW IT'S A LONG WEEKEND, SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION. ALMOST ORDERED A BAG OR TWO, UNTIL THIS QUESTION..? HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE BACK SOON WITH AN ANSWER. MANY BLESSINGS TO ALL!
