Hydroponics - Using distilled water

[morrum]

In using distilled water we assume we need to add Ca and Mn

Doesn't anyone use distilled water?

Im using distilled on my very first DWC grow rigth now. I cant find RO anywhere and im setting up a system either. Im using distilled water and adding GH flora-veg/blom/micro/sili then i add my Cal/Mag to get my PPM right where i need them. I hear you can use tap water just let it sit out for a day so the chlorine evaporates. Im new but will help in anyway

I use ro but i believe that in the distillation process everything is removed so yeah, Ca/Mg will be needed.

Yeah I would add calmag at 3-5 ml/gallon. I use rainwater- it's distilled by nature.

Edit- oh I see this is an old thread...

All old info needs to be renewed from time to time....
