im on my 6th week of my first grow... and one thing i looked over is the amount of water my plants would use... i started with 12 gallons every 2 weeks and now that has changed to 30 gallons... my question is, how bad would it be to use tap water over distilled... with tap i could just fill my tanks from my sink

It would all depend on your tap water. Is it fairly clean or is it undrinkable? I've heard some here that have tap water that I wouldn't even bathe in. Check the PPM of your tap water. If its below 200ppm, it might be ok and if its slightly above 200ppm, GH makes a hard water nute additive.
