Maybe not widespread. It was done at the dispensary I worked at years ago as a gardener. They used all organics and the idea was if the chlorine is killing bacteria in the water, it would also kill the microbial life that is beneficial to the root zone in the soil. Maybe that is exaggerated or incorrect.
Possibly, but it’s interesting enough for me to keep in mind going forward. The cannabis community certainly seems to be on the bleeding edge of maximizing growth potential so I try to keep up with what I can for my own gardening purposes.
Thanks for sharing this tidbit of knowledge!
On the opposite end, I was growing Recirculating Deep Water Culture years back and we would add in a chemical that smelled just like a pool to kill all the bacteria in the water, help with root rot, and make it sterile. This was because we didn’t want any microbial life around the root zone and all the nutes were chemical.
Now, I just stick with tomatoes and hot peppers but I learned a lot about indoor garden design.
