Subject: Water quality


Hi, folks! I am looking for some help from the "scientists" out there. I
have two sets of water data and would like to ask which one is better for
orchids and why, plus what simple things I could do (obviously not RO or
anything spendy) to make it better.

Here are the data:

A B
pH 7.8 8.14
µS/cm 420 353
°D 15.26 12
°F 27.3 21.5
mg/l HCO3 296 250
Nitrate mg/l 7 5.5
Chloride mg/l 2 1
Fluoride mg/l 0.1 0.1
Sulfate 12 6

Am I correct in assuming B is generally better? Any help will be
appreciated.
