Water: Tap, Distilled, Drinking?

I was bumping around here and I came across a thread discussing use of tap water on plants. I understand it needs to sit out for the chlorine to evaporate fully.....

....but my question is: What does everyone here use for the most part?

and is there any difference in efficiency of tap water, distilled, filtered, or drinking water?

tap water from the city has florine in it too do not use it . Distilled water is the right ph and I only use it for germinating to get it off at the right ph. Drinking water can be used but if i wer u Id be goin to a country freind that has a well and just fill some gallons up and youll be set for a couple of weeks.

I use well water. Other wise drinking but that can get expensive. If all is lost use distilled water but distilled lacks nutrients it is just a nuetral wetting agent. Or whatever.

I use tap water but I let it sit in a 50 gal. drum overnight first.

yeah letting the water sit will let the chemicals eighter evaporate or settle in the bottom.

I am currently using distilled water and its working fine. I have used several different brands and none of them are the correct ph...actually I have found all brands to be around 9 on the ph scale.

you have to ph well water tho right?

i have a grow started and i was wondering if i could use rain water and no nutes

dude rain water is exellent,or even a local stream just make sure no one is dumping
shit down stream i used both and had good results in the past my current grow im
using tap but its well so i dont worry the all have a ph somewhere around 7 from what
i tested..

Fluids are important dammit.

I've been talking with the guy at the shop here and he clearly told me not to buy any water... it's a waster of money. He told me my tap water is fine wich come out at 90ppm. And he also told me not to let the water sit... small amount of chlorine found is city tap water is not bad for any plant, even good as it's a mineral that contain something i can't remember the name a plant needs...

I use tap water... don't let sit... put nutes and ajust the ph, wait for the temp to reach my res temp and do the water change. my plants are nice and growing fast!

is it common in the upper midwest

I have a black container that i fill up and adjust that'll last me two weeks worth of watering... i'll take it straight from the tap adjust it and begin to use it instantly, but on the other hand my water does sit a bit and i havent found any bad side effects from doing that technique yet...

well i dont even care if i get 7 grams i just wanna grow some weed i have 2 plants

i grew 1 plant on my first attempt and thought id get nothing and still managed to dry out about an ounce

without nutes?

i simply just had my soil lights fan and ph adjusted water... i was just trying something basic and it tuned out alright for me

my friend said it would die without them...

well i guess i proved that theory wrong... lol... but i am not encouraging not using nutes... because for all i know i may have got lucky on that one ive always been using them since...
