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.

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

F44: dozens of gnats stucked on buds & sugar leavesHey,
I noticed dozens of gnats stucked on sugar leaves and buds trichomes/resin... I tried to pick them by hand but there are too many.
I saw articles about bud washing which seems to be a good thing except for higher mold risk.
Would it be the only way to smoke bug free weed?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?
