Ok I have to go to the store all the fucking time to by distilled water. Its annoying and sketch so I think I am going to just use water out of my faucet and let it sit out for 24 hours and hope that anything my plant does not want it wont get from the new water. But before I do this I want to know if anyone has done this before. Its a lot easier and cheaper and I work like all the time so I don't have time to go to the store. Please someone respond its SUPER IMPORTANT TO ME. Im about to starting on 2-17-12 begins 5th week into flowering.:weed: MY FIRST EVER HALF WAY POINT IN HYDRO!:joint:

I would check the PPM of your tap, but make sure you adjust ur nutes accordingly. Should be OK though. Have you considered just buying a small filter or RO? I was using tap water and honestly, it was doing OK, but got my RO and love it. Tap should be just fine.
