Due, maybe you got an underground well or low chlorine in your water. But, there are many facts that state chlorine is bad for cannabis. Just google it.

Chlorine Deficiency
Wilted chlorotic leaves become bronze in color. Roots become stunted and thickened near tips. Plants with chlorine deficiencies will be pale and suffer wilting.
Chlorine Toxicity
Burning of leaf tip or margins. Bronzing, yellowing and leaf splitting. Reduced leaf size and lower growth rate.

Finally the penny drops, that is my whole point. My advice is based on my experience. Others advice is based on what books say on the whole about this issue. I know a lot of growers and they all use tap water (some use water buts in the garden to collect rain) If you dont try it you dont know, if you do try it and alls well then continue. I can only give advice based on my experience. According to Scientists riding a bicycle to work in the rush hour will give you asthma, it didnt give me it! See where im coming from? It seams that many US growers just presume that you have to use RO water, which is simply not the case.

Clones can be set at 24 or 18/6 it depends on how fast you want them to grow.

They don't need REST, they need 12/12 for flowering just to mimich late fall. And 18-24 for mid summer.

oh dear here comes another 'heated debate'. Yes I always advocate the rest issue for plants that are fully rooted and in veg state. For clones though I want to get them established as quickly as possible as they only have limited means of feeding etc, so the quicker I can root them the better.

RO works, distilled works, tap works, most well water works...the question is, what do you feel like spending?
i use tap water, always have with great results.
the reason people let is set out overnight(some say 48hrs) it to let the chlorine outgas. chlorine in your water wont necesarily harm your plants but it can kill off your micro-beasties.
my clones root under 18/6. i have tried the water method with no success. i use powder and rw cubes witha dome.
