Can air conditioning water be used to water the agaves ?

That's a great question! I don't know enough about air conditioning water to say for sure. I'd probably test it and see.

Good video. This is an important topic for agave lovers because a lot of people are terrified of feeding their desert plants. At the outset, I have a bit of a Japanese approach. I use Magamp K with a dash of Osmocote Plus every time I repot. If it's in the pot for more than 6 months, which it usually is, I start using Organics Alive's soluble nutrients. They have very targeted organic NPK powders you can use to dial in your fertilizer requirements very accurately and easily. For mycorrhizae I use Rootwise Soil Dynamics Mycrobe Complete that I get from Build-A-Soil. It's the BEST mycorrhizae inoculant on the market. Period. I used to use Great White until Rootwise Mycrobe Complete hit the market. The world record largest pumpkin was grown using Mycrobe Complete. The pumpkin was 2,749 pounds. To me Great White is a bit too big batch for me, and there's a LOT of fake Great White products on the market that you may not even know you've been using. If you still prefer to use it, buy it directly from the source to avoid getting scammed. When I'm making fresh soil for agave, and all my desert plants, I use Kelp4Less's granular mycorrhizae inoculant. It's just a quick and easy inoculant right there in the soil in the form of a granulated rock at roughly 3-5mm. I'm assuming they coat the outside of it with both endo and ecto mycorrhizae. I haven't been using it long so I can't make any claims, but many people love it.
