The ill effects of chlorination in the water have been overplayed.

It won't hurt your plant at all, and cannabis needs a little chlorine to be healthy.

The only downside is that the chlorine can (marginally) reduce your microbe population, but it's not that big a deal.

Let the tap water sit in an open container for 24 hours, and most of the chlorine will evaporate off.

No, I got that.

I'm saying that tap water is better. Ignore chlorination stories, especially for your first grow.

Unless your local water supply is really f-cked up pH wise, use that ... it has trace elements and minerals that your plants need. Those might be in small quantities, but they are important 'catalysts' which facilitate other nutrient processes.

But for now, as a catch up boost, look into some kelp. Give your plants a water + kelp feed, and a half-strength foliar spray. Sea life has all those trace elements from land water runoff into the oceans.

Kelp is a cannabis tonic. Always good for the ladies, and won't make any existing problem worse. It's kind and organic, the plants will take what they need from it.

I'm not familiar with any of the commercial products - I forage for fresh kelp myself.

Here's a recent thread with some opinions.

GS Plants - "Fish & Kelp" liquid fert

Have you tried this Fish & Kelp from GS Plants? Just picked up a gallon for $35. A guy on here suggested it & said feed 1tbsp/gallon once per week during flower. So far so good, day #7 of flower & I've done 2 applications so far to my lady. Not really sure about the NPK value of it. How often...
rollitup.org

You won't need a lot ... it's one teaspoon to a gallon of water type of dilution ratios.

You'll use a little now, and occasionally during veg as a little tonic boost ... and a bit more frequently during bloom. It's got P and K that will help fatten your buds.

I'm not saying with absolute certainty that this will directly address your current (pretty minor) problem, but kelp / fish is part of a good balanced diet, and if you are lacking trace elements from your distilled watering, this is a gentle way to put them back.

What other plant on earth needs DISTILLED water ??? ……… NONE.

Leave distilled for baby bottles / steam iron . Run tap . That god damn simple.
It already has calcium and mag plus other elements - and yes plants use chlorine ( shocking ).

Your ph would be fine if you check your water / feed mix before adding to medium. Matter of fact if you “ matched “ ph to your grow medium , the internal buffers in that bagged mix would last longer. No god damn slurry test or lab reports.

It’s a damn plant - like growing a tomato - literally.
Overthink that and you are destined to wreck such a simple garden grow.

Nutrients:
Sea kelp is a natural source of vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D and E, as well as minerals including zinc, iodine, magnesium, iron, potassium, copper and calcium. In fact it contains the highest natural concentration of calcium of any food – ten times more than milk.

That's from a human article.

Your plants need many of those too.

And there's the iron that was pointed out by @buckaclark in one of the first responses.
