There are a few nutes that say they don't require CalMag but I might use it anyway. As it is I use RO water and CalMAg and love the way my plants grow.

Worst case scenario....enough magnesium, calcium deficiencies etc can certainly eventually kill your plants one way or another.

Is there magnesium and calcium in your distilled tap water? If so, then you don't need it.

thanks, i dont know if there is cal or mag in my water but i just remember reading somewhere in here that if you are using distilled tap water you should use calmag plus

If the water has been distilled, then by definition, it does not contain useable amounts of any minerals.
Yes, you need CalMag if you are using distilled water.

Watch out... do not feed the Ego of the Stinkster. It is dangerous! RRRROWR!!!

I'll try not to steer ya wrong; I'm a wicked cheapskate myself and have been known to dumpster-dive for equipment. But there's a couple things you just can't get away with skimping on. Calmag is one if you run RO or distilled.

But remember that if you are in soil, tap water is almost ALWAYS perfectly fine.

Do you distill your own tap water? Perhaps you mean that you let it sit for a few days for chlorine to evaporate?
