Is Distilled Water Bad to Use for Watering Your Plants?

[Sagethisplanet]

Nah different process, distilled is heated to boiling to and recollected and R/O goes through a filtration system that uses reverse osmosis(water forced through a membrane after carbon and sediment filtering)

Ahh thank YA. Thought had same chemical makeup essentially nothing..... Learn new everyday on RIU!

Is this a true statement, the plant synthesizes the food the same way no matter the application thereof or organic or not?

Indeed indeed. Best on the www

I'm not sure but in my opinion organic tastes better.

For sure!
Just remember reading or seeing or ready or hearing that and it intrested mucho. Reading teaming w nutrients, maybe that'll teach

Any experience with the Fox Farm line of nutrients? (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom) Ive read the feeding schedules on the Fox Farm websites aren't accurate.. Anyone know about this?

 

[Sagethisplanet]

Most schedules aren't accurate. They are a guide. Read the plant and read each plant as one, even if same strain. Genetics change fast these days and the plants aren't as strong as they were imho.

There's nothing wrong with using distilled water. It's just water!

There's nothing wrong with drinking distilled either. You should be able to get enough calcium through food, and the sodium from salt makes it all moot point very fast. It's all going to a sack of hydrochloric acid anyway.

Did you know that if all you had access to was tap water, without food, you would die slowly also?

 

[Steele_GreenMan]

It's really the fact that tap water has some trace in it.... Just be sure to let the chlorine get out by letting sit for 24 hours per gallon. That'll rid any chlorine and ull get. The trace.

It's really the line yu choose, what are you using?

chlorine yes, but what is more commonly used now today or in conjunction with chlorine is chloramine, which cannot be removed by just sitting it out and must be filtered out

[Sagethisplanet]

Oh wow, guess he best to check your areas water and see what they got in it, that's not in the water that flows from the tap..... That's a bummer. What is it?

 

[Rrog]

Distilled water carries a negative charge which makes it a bad choice for growing.

Water is water if you're talking natural soil.

 

[Sagethisplanet]

Does that mean the plant uptakes nutrients the same way no matter organic or application? Not how fast, the synthesis of the nutes to the plant, are they the same organic, non organic, and every thn in between?

Great chart!

Of course! Water is the most important factor for life.

Chlorine or chloramine, neither affect soil? Intresting

Will a Brita take care of chloramine?

yes, nutrients are broken down into IONS, those are then turned into glucose and starches which happens thru photosynthesis.

 

[old&stilldoinit]

If I don't add nutrients to the distilled water should I not use it? Im just starting a seedling now and I haven't been adding anything to the water. Im growing in FOx Farm Ocean Forest and people have said that it has more than enough nutrients in it for at least a month. True or false?

for the first month ..yes

U there Rrog?
