distilled water ?!

Please, correct me if i am wrong.

Distilled water PH level stays around 5.5~6, I believe.

However, As far i know, distilled water don't contains Na, K, P.

I am a hydro growing, don't have proper PH adjustment kit at this moment.

If it's OK, I am thinkin to use distilled water till my PH kit get's here.

because Top water came out around 8 ~.5 lol ..
( my strain just poped out, auto fast bud2.)

thanks.

Distilled water ideally consists of only hydrogen and oxygen, with a completely neutral pH of 7. In reality, it almost always is slightly acidic, from 5.6 to just under 7, because the water absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. A gallon of distilled water can be made neutral by adding 1/8 tsp. of baking soda, a substance with a pH of 8.

so good to use or not?

My PH is kept rebounding, using lemon juice.. Is it OK to put more and more when PH goes up?

What? no ph meter, adjusters etc? .Growing hydro without a ph meter is like a boat in the ocean with no sail.
when you add the nutes to the dist water the ph will change so it wont help much. Just get a $25 one from honkers.

Oh no, I DO have meter but NO PH down/up kit.

I dont know but I think I remember reading in high times that the chlorine in the tap water helps the roots against certain bugs or something. Anyone can backup what Im saying?

lve heard that not to true high times..
