Help Save my plants

I'm referring to the distilled water.
Hydro nutes expect tap water with some "beef"
About 250 ppm of "dirt" in the tap water is a good place to start.
If you use RO or distilled water always add enough Calmag to bring it up to about 250ppm., then mix in the nutes to the proper strength.
I usually run about 800 ppm, but I've seen strains tolerate 1400ppm.
Without a Calmag supplement to distilled water you may see yellowing leaves with large brown spots that go necrotic.
Thought I should also mention that hydrotron pellets will saturate with highnutes and will not flush as easily as soil, coco, or rockwool.:twocents:
Carry on.
