Default fertilizer question

Hi,
I'm watering with MSU fertilizer for pure water + distilled water now, but I'm going to switch to tap water when my new greenhouse is up and running (hopefully in the next few weeks ??). Since I will not continue to use this same fertilizer, I would like to know if you think MSU fertilizer for well water will be my best choice to switch over to. This is the one I have been planning to buy, but I would like to get your expert opinion before I do. Question 2: If you advise that I buy a different fert. than this, what would you suggest? The ph of our tap water is approx. 7 (give or take slightly).

I would appreciate your advice.
Vicki

I think the MSU WW stuff is one of the better formulas out there, but it's no problem to use up the RO stuff with the tap water before switching over.

But then again, you might consider putting a tank and RO system in the GH...

Thank you Ray,
This is exactly what I needed to know. I had hoped you would see my post. Most likely, sometime in the future when I get my new greenhouse up and organized, I may be able to switch to RO. ??

Thanks again for your help, as I always say..."as always"
