distilled is perfect for your plants, i use that or ro/di water only. never tap. too many uncontrolled chemicals in that stuff.

distilled water has nothing in it at all, so that is preferable. nothing in it to hurt your plants.

In a small soil grow theres really nothing wrong with tap water, assuming yours isnt crazy bad. Distilled water is fine too, and its pretty cheap.

but if you want to control exactuly want goes into your plant. stick with distilled. I actually bought a distiller on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/AquaVie-House-Water-Purifier-System-Distiller-Filter-/400120863153?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Small_Kitchen_Appliances_US&hash=item5d290fd9b1

Makes a gallon of water in 4 hours. No steam escapes. leaves 8 oz of water in the end of the cycle.
