Default Boiling water - good or bad?
Just wondering if boiling ur water then letting it cool in a container over night to get to room temp. is that alot better for making the water quality good or what?

I think you are confusing boiled water with distilled water... they are not the same thing.

Boiling it will kill any bacterias in it... but it won't remove the minerals.... you have to distill it for that.

Yep... my tap water has a ridiculously high salt content in it (costal living) and my first few plants died.

At first I looked into making a homemade distiller... LOL... I soon realized that catching steam off a boiling pot was not going to cut the mustard when it came to producing enough water to water my plants.

I bought a portable RO machine... and my plants have done better ever since.

If you use RO water don't mix it with tap water. What I did is I bought a few of those 5 gallon water bottles from walmart. I use my RO machine to fill them up. That way I have enough water for a few days.

You don't want to mix the water... you want straight RO water as it's as low PPM as possible. My RO machine does not filter out all the minerals... but it gets my water down to 50 PPM (mine is 550+ out of the tap). The point of RO is being able to start with little to no minerals and you add nutes to bring the PPM to where you want it. See that way you are controlling exactly what minerals the plant is getting.

I never check my PH (I should, and will this year)..but last year CannaSeur brought a PH tester and I checked reg. tap evaporated (remove chlorine) and boiled..the boiled was 7.4 the tap was 7.2....
