I'm using spring water and put an ounce of CS in the water. I guess it's around 1/4 a gallon or a little over a liter of water. You add a couple of tablets to the water that the plants use as nutrients but I don't know how these nutrients and the spring water will mix with all the CS? Guess I'll have to be my own guinea pig? Perhaps these plants will pick the silver up and I'll have a super plant or it will kill it? Let's see. D
From: Clayton Family [email protected] I guess you could do an experiment..... I was reading somewhere that too much silver in public waters might be a concern if they kill off the beneficial bacteria that roots need for getting food. OTOH, I also read that someone was putting it on their plants? maybe- more info needed.... On Sep 27, 2007, at 5:13 PM, Cinder Ella wrote: > Has anyone had experience with hydroponics and CS?
