Hello all, I just built a bubble cloner and I put distilled water in it and was told by a friend that distilled water might not be the best to use, is that true or does it matter? If not can I just go ahead and change out the water? It has been going for about 12 hours. Thanks all.

Distilled water has no minerals at all, so I’m gonna say no.
You mean no it's not going to matter using distilled water? Thanks.

In a bubble cloner what difference does it make? They don’t even have roots.

Here’s a response from a member that may help. It may not. This is another subject everyone will have different options on.

Both distilled and RO are soft water with close to 0 ppm of dissolved solids. Distilled will have extremely low levels of oxygen so it needs to be agitated to get O2 levels up. I would assume your system bubbler is adequate for this but it never hurts to agitate before adding it into a system.

Distilled water is the best for any intercourse with plants
as its the cleanest.. true it ain't got no minerals but hey we got cal mag
avoid using that during cloning ....lol
you could use anything that can carry 02 to the cambium ...lol
cloning is all but teasing out the root-lets(warts) from under the bark
no biggy chill!
change the water everyday ..fed it to your other plants
avoid that crappy instruction manual from the ezi cloner
better info online
like using household honey better than clonex...it sticks ,..lol
use lots of air or spray you got issues it often the lack of air
or shitty water
good luck
ps ask ur buddy why not? .. lol
