problems that may result from mixing tap water with distilled or RO water ?

Without a full break down of your water it is impossible to say what is in it. So don't think anyone can give you the real answer. And cal-mag def is what everyone says. Ether that or N. But most of that is from noobs that don't realy know. Sometimes it's realy to high of K or P. Looks real similar if later in flower when N isn't being used. And there are some plants that need higher levels of cal. Or potassium. I know I didn't help much but don't think it's cal-mag def off your at 180ppm. It might be something eles.

Kind of off topic, but I use to lug jugs of RO water from the grocery store everyweek, untill I read a post by Al B Fuct saying city water is fine to use in hydro, yep he was right (as usual) mine flucuates from 280ppm - 370 ppm ands I use it with the same results as RO, without the hassle that goes with it. I don't let it stand to release the clorine or any of that voodoo, just add nutes, set ph and feed. *City water*, not well water thats different.

Just my two cents

Peace

That^^^^^

Or, do the 1/2 & 1/2. You'll be fine.

I use tap water for my hydro and haven't noticed any detrimental affects. My shit is dank like a mofo
I used to lug 5 gallon bottles of water up my stairs all the time. That shit gets old.

so if i'am reading these replies right... then 280 ppm's and 7.2 to 7.4 is fine...and i would like to clairify a few things.one i know for a fact that i had a cal-mag deff along with a nitrogen deff,not a ph lock out... so this is why i asked if i created the deff by mixing tap water with distilled.but since alot of people are saying my tap is fine then i just need to get a breakdown of my water... to see if i have enough calcium and mag in the water. thanks for the input guys...

you read right. dont forget to adjust your ph's and ppm's though
