Sickly brown leaves.
    #566462 - 06/21/11 11:32 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Just noticed the weirdest leave discoloration for the first time. It's on the top of the buds. Recently switched from watering with distilled water to PH balancing tap water + nutrients. That's the only thing I can think that is wrong. I left out the jugs for 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate so I'm at a loss.

This is a problem, a 7.7 pH is way to high.  I bet the pH of your soil is a bit higher than 7.7  I would go back to Distilled water.  I'm not sure why you changed it?
You need to know what's in your tap water before you start using it.  You need to check the ppm of dissolved solids already in your tap water.

Arrowedhead Distilled water is like 6 bucks for 5 gallons, which gets expensive since I water every 3 days. I thought as long as I balance it down to a acceptable level I'll be fine. Buying water is fucking expensive.

there are products you can buy to balance the PH of your tap water. They can get expensive depending on what you buy but it will still be cheaper in the long run then buying arrowhead all the time.

Started watering with distilled 2 days ago and the leaves are already bouncing back to normal. Guess my tap water is too shitty.

I just found a fish store that sales RO water at $0.25 per gallon.  I agree that distilled water is expensive, so I'm making the move to RO.

distilled water is just left to sit out and distill when OR water is run through a reverse osmosis process that eliminates micro impurities.

no and yes

Yes on the RO water part, but no on the distilled part.

Distilled water is run through a distillation process, it's not just water that is left out. 

Essentially both RO and distilled water are the same thing, pure to near pure water with a pH of 7.0 or very close.

It involves boiling the water. 

Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their boiling points.
