Can I use tap water for cannabis?
Yes, but check the pH first (should be 6.0-6.8 for soil). If your tap has chlorine, let it sit out 24 hours. If you have well water, test the PPM/EC — very hard water can cause issues. Most city tap water works fine with pH adjustment.

Started with the same setup. Worked great for my first autoflower from Royal King Seeds.

Also check your pH! So many problems trace back to incorrect pH.

Can confirm this works. My first grow had the same issue and these fixes solved it.
