Is distilled water better to use than tap water? My tap water reads 354 ppm, I have a feeling it's too hard so what I'm wondering is would I be better off using distilled and add nutes rather than using tap water? The pics ik I am feeding cal mag an some N next watering.

Tap water has harmful elements for plants like chlorine just to name one. Distilled water or RO water would definetely be an healthier and more precise way to feed the plants.

Yes. A lot of my unexplainable nutrient problems went away when I switched from my 220 ppm tap water to R.O. water. Now I add Calimagic.

You 'can' feed your plants distilled water, but it can start to get pricey and you have to keep in mind that it has 0ppm. You will be losing out on some of the good additives in the water like micronutrients. If you make up for it with other micronutrients and monitor your PH then it should be fine.

That is very high ppm for tap water almost "dangerous to drink". But, your plants look great! You need to feed a little more nutrients I think, but I use rain water when possible if not my tapwater is around 99ppm.

Looking for clarification on the Flush time required for a RDWC grow? I have read this can be as little as 2 days of just plain water but should this also include CalMag if I am RO water? I assume the standard root rot treatment continues? i.e. OxyPlus, HydroGuard, Phytoff?Thanks6y ago
