I have heard that it is not good to use distilled water unless you are using it to germinate your seeds, is this correct? What I read is that distilled water although it is pure does not have enough trace elements and minerals to feed the plant during very early growth, and it is better to use plain bottled drinking water instead. I have been using distilled water with my 1st grow. I have 4 babies that are about 1.5 weeks old and I noticed that at about 1 week old all of the cotlydons (1st 2 round leaves) were yellowing and the plants were hardly growing. I read in another thread that it could be from the distilled water or a lack of nitrogen. Any way I mixed a weak gallon solution of Flora Nova (veg) and liquid karma and the babies have exploded and have all doubled in size in 3 days with the nutes. Does this sound right/good? And can I keep using the distilled water as long as I am mixing in the nutes? Your advice is appreciated
