I don't have a R/O unit. Can I save myself some trouble and just water my plants(soil) w/ distilled water? Yes, I will still test ph before watering. While I'm thinking...Should I test ph before and after adding any nutes to the water? Thanks in advance.

definitely check the ph before and after adding nutes because nutes will change the ph, distilled shouldn't be a problem i use distilled and i dont even check the ph and iv yet to have ph problems

I get R/O water from in front of the grocery store.... .25 cents a gallon. at one of those vending machines that vend a gallon at a time. Better than distilled.

Why use distilled water or R/O water in soil?

I would use tap water, check the PH.

If you use distilled water or R/O you need to add something like CAL-MAG at some point in your grow because most of the trace minerals will be missing.

Just my $0.02 :weed:
