Is it safe to use distilled water if I have no PH down formula? My ph down formula burned through the bottle and even through the plastic bag I had the bottle in. I am ordering more ph down but this is all I have until then. I’ve given it 3 waterings with it and it looks fine4now

Hi. Actually won't lower the PH of your water but lower ur EC. Until ur PH adjuster gets 2u. Add either lemon/lime juice 0.05ml /L r as much as needed. This is ok for a few feeds, it'll see u through.

Hello. Yes, distilled water is fine to use but, distilled water is made by evaporation, this removes a lot of the oxygen from the finished water. Make sure there is oxygen reintroduced back into the water by way of shaking up the bottle before pouring it on the roots. Cannabis and all house plants like lots of oxygen in their water. If you have 5 gallons or more of water, put a air bubbler in to the water a hour before you water. Chuck.
