Importance of water control in cultivation
Water is one of the pillars of marijuana cultivation. Watering isn't enough: it's essential to ensure the water is at the right temperature and purity to avoid compromising plant development. Poorly managed water can lead to nutrient deficiencies, root stress, or even the growth of fungi and pests.
What products can you find in this category?
In this section of Alchimia, we offer a selection of tools that allow you to monitor, adjust, and distribute irrigation water precisely, adapted to both indoor and outdoor crops:
- Water thermometers: ideal for ensuring that irrigation water is within an optimal range (18-22 ºC), avoiding thermal shocks that slow down plant metabolism.
- Submersible heaters: perfect for stabilizing water temperature in winter or cold areas. Essential for irrigation systems with reservoirs.
- Reverse osmosis filters: remove chlorine, salts, heavy metals, and other impurities present in tap water, producing pure water ready for nutrient enrichment. We also offer membrane and pre-filter replacements to keep your equipment running smoothly.
- Watering lances: practical tools for distributing water more evenly, especially in crops with many pots or difficult access.
What type of grower are they designed for?
These accessories are ideal for any grower looking to take irrigation control to the next level: from beginners with a small grow tent to experienced users with automated systems. Osmosis filters and heaters are particularly valuable for crops with organic or sensitive fertilizers, where pH and EC must be closely monitored.
What benefits do they offer?
Including these accessories in your growing routine allows you to:
- Avoid blockages or excess nutrients due to hard or poorly conditioned water.
- Maintaining root health is key to vigorous growth and powerful flowering.
- Improve the dissolution and absorption of fertilizers.
- Automate and facilitate the irrigation process, especially in medium or large crops.
Frequently Asked Questions About Grow Water Accessories
What are the advantages of using an osmosis filter in cultivation?
Removes salts and contaminants from tap water, allowing you to add nutrients from scratch and with greater precision. It improves absorption and prevents unwanted buildup in the substrate. Keep in mind that you may need to add calcium and magnesium to your reverse osmosis water to prevent deficiencies.
Why is it important to heat the water before watering?
Cold water can stress roots and slow the plant's metabolism. Gently warming it helps maintain a stable and healthy root environment. Around 20°C is ideal.
