Thanks for the info guys! I'll have to look again at HD and Lowes. I think I might have seen some there but it looked granulated instead of powdered. It didn't say on the package. What do you think about the difference between those?

I am wondering what kind of water to use. Plain tap water, filtered tap water, distilled water, mineral water, R/O water are all options. Will any kind work better than others? Also, I have heard that bubbling water with an air stone for 24 hours before watering is helpful as it...
