cannabis (Marijuana) Grow Water
Water is the foundation of life. For cannabis growers, it's the foundation of the entire operation. Every plant, system, and final product depends on water. But not just any water. It needs to be clean, consistent, and controlled.
Cannabis Is a High-Value Crop
Cannabis isn’t your average houseplant. It’s a high-dollar crop with tight margins and strict regulations. That means everything that goes into growing it—soil, nutrients, air, and water—needs to be of the highest quality.
Many growers test their soil. They test their nutrient mix. But some overlook water quality. And that can be a costly mistake.
Cannabis Plants Are Sensitive
Cannabis is picky. The plants react quickly to stress, especially from what’s in the water. Municipal water often contains chlorine or chloramines. These are great for killing bacteria in drinking water, but they also kill beneficial microbes in soil and hydro systems.
Hard water contains high levels of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals. These can cause "nutrient lockout," where the plant can't absorb the nutrients you’re feeding it. The result? Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and lower yields.
Even well water or collected rainwater can carry heavy metals, bacteria, or pesticides. These contaminants can hurt your plants or end up in your final product.
Protect Your Investment
Water issues don’t just affect your plants. They affect your equipment too.
Contaminants lead to scale buildup, pipe corrosion, and system clogs. That means more downtime and higher repair bills. In some cases, it can even void your equipment warranties.
Installing proper filtration protects your irrigation, hydroponic, and misting systems. It also keeps chillers, boilers, and dehumidifiers running cleaner and longer.
