When I say hydroponic, I mean using water analysis as a deficiency template to adjust all nutrients, to achieve balance for the species being grown, in a non nutrient medium which supports the plants while providing both aeration & nutrient solution.Wowzers, you def know your chemistry. Yes, nickel does increase fungi. I met a fellow years ago who was employed to do a water study and he told me this region adds copper to the public water system to decrease that activity because of the nickel presence. He then mentioned how that added copper is contributing to a significant increase in autoimmunity pathologies in female physiology.
In both drinking water as well as the garden, I generally avoid city water. Most of my water is collected and stored rain.
When you say hydroponic, do you mean as in not in the garden, i.e not in garden soil?
Eda: I love that phrase 'Frontier science'...
There is hundreds of reputable methods on the market.
Too much copper can be worse than too much Nickel.
New methods of water filtration will be on the market in a couple of years which will be both cheaper & superior.
