do you have city water along with softened water? How many ppm salts left in the water from the process could be a problem. but go to a water machine and get it for 1.00/5gallons or .25 a gallon. see if that makes a difference. I have a water softener and an iron filter system in my house but the water in the greenhouses is only iron filtered not softened for that very same reason. I water/fertilize with an injector and there are enough salts in that left over that I didn't want to create another issue. I water an entire plant rack..... all my overwintered geraniums, a few houseplants, and thousands of seedlings in my basement with softened water and I don't see a problem with it.
