Default Is there a difference drinking water and distilled water from store?
I have been using Gallons of water from the store Labeled "Drinking Water". THey also sale Gallons Labeled "distilled water". Could my plants not be doing so good because I am using the water from the "drinking water" bottles?

Distilled water does not contain trace minerals or metals in it. That would depend on the drinking water you are using. You would have look at the ingredients marked on it.

Bottled water labeled "Drinking Water" is nothing but Reverse Osmosis (RO) water that has had certain minerals added back into it for flavor. Its perfectly safe for your plants.

"Distilled" water, is water from what ever source that has been reduced to steam. The resulting condensation is the finished distilled water and is very low in trace elements. Perfectly safe for your plants.

"Purified" water, is water from what ever source that is run through an RO process. The result is a very pure water containing almost no trace elements. Perfectly safe for your plants.

seriously, if you can drink the water so can your plants. unless you have a god awful municipal system or well that has a really high mineral count. anyway, your problem is much more likely to be too litte or too much water. what is your watering schedule??
