Sorry I'm late.
I'm just going to sit over here.
I try to save money and supply the best.
Are water is treated with the bad stuff.
I'm not suggesting you do this but reading I had to comment.
Being on tight budget I'm watering all my plants with my tenant upstairs ac run off water.
It has a ph of 6.6 and a ppm around 20 I add cal mag and all my nutes I just have small adjustment
of ph and that's because of silicate.
I've heard this is missing a lot of minerals.
Now I don't know if this is a no no.
But this is how I've watered my out door garden for years so far I've ate some good vegetables from my garden and smoked some good herb.
And have never run into any uncommon problems with my garden.
I've run a few plants in hempy buckets on my patio both did real well just cal mag problems in flower and not bad.
I could put in r o system but if it's working I'm not knocking it.
Now would my plants do better with distilled water don't know theirs nothing been wrong to have me change.
If I was growing inside I'd use distilled water over my tap water if ac water was available I'd use it lol.
The ac water is almost always diluted with rain water also.
I've only grew a few plants this way the rest was veggies mine did okay.
Well that's my 2 cents worth.

Another source of cleaner water is the water out of the dehumidifier. I have used this water with no problems what so ever.

Sorry so long your plants look good!

That's a great way of recycling water! It's got to be better than my tap water with an ec of 0.6/600us/cm. We don't get enough rain where I live otherwise I'd be out there with a bucket, although the air polution of a major city maybe doesn't make that a good option

Now, that's something I didn't think about. I've just bought a mini dehumidifier and while it pulls moisture, it does little for the humidity levels. Do you use a large dehumidifier?

LOL, I think I just bought the same one you got, I put right inside my 2x4x5 tent and it collected some water, but did not do shit to bring down the humidity. Yeah, I use a large room sized one in the room I have my tent in. In the summer, you can collect enough to take care of two plants.

My wife will think I'm nuts with buckets catching rain water . Gonna ride distilled water on this journey and see what the end result in about 7-9 weeks.

Yesterday she was 21 days old. I will post more pics of her tomorrow or Sunday.

I love all of this feedback and help along the way. My first 3 grows were disasters but did manage something out of 2 of them. This one is really looking good with no signs of any problems.

Please ride this grow with me as I need all the help I can get.

Lol actually, the little dehumidifier I just bought maybe isn't as bad as I initially thought. I was judging it against very high humidity outside over the last week. Today, humidity is back down and the little dehumidifier is reducing the tent RH by a little
