I recently was using distilled water to feed my plants ...i have since learned how distilled water is stripped of all natural nutrients from tap water

my plants were harmed severly yellow/brown leaves that are dying

i today purchased a starter nutrient setup from technaflora and gave 4 tbl spoons of potassium magnesiun and nitrogen mixture to the ph tested 6.0 tap water will this give my babies the nutrients it needs???

And anyone ever heard of a different solution to distilled water killing plants?

I am thinking it was something else dude. How is it possible that straight water would kill plants. They need water to survive. That doesnt even make sense.

Yes ur right straight water from the tap would hav been fine but there are many different kinds of water that contain different things

theres tap water bottled water sparking water and distilled water probably alot more variations than i just named

but from personal experience distilled water has killd my plants....if u think im wrong be my guest nd use it on ur plants...i hope the same thing deosnt happen

Normal and/or distilled water do not have enough nutrients to feed a growing pot plant.

If distilled water is infact "pure" as u called it...and the distilling process taked out all other elements than what makes up water..than infact distilled water is 100% h2o

marijuana plants need different chemical elements from tap water with the help of some added nutrients such as magnesium nitrogen potassium

or at least i hope i know what im talking about now...i was the moron that used the distilled water to begin within =)
