Start with Distilled, change to RO, is that OK?

Hey guys,

I am buying clones on Saturday. The RO filter I ordered doesn't get here until the following Wednesday.

Is it going to be ok for me to start the plants in Distilled water, and change out to RO when the filter arrives?

Also when I change to RO should I start over, or just mix it with the left over distilled?

Thanks for the input.

Distilled water is not much different than RO water. I hope you've got some cal-mag on hand.

I have MagiCal picked it up on the way home with my plants and a trunk full of walmart water.

Can you check my thread (in sig) and let me know if I can add it with how things stand?

I used MagiCal once. Mine had "floaters" in it. It was like snot floating around in there. I wasn't sure if I got a bad batch. I think I like Cal-Mag, though.
