Distilled water & bulk substrate.

Gah...

I didnt use distilled water when hydrating the coco coir, but did use filtered water, though I doubt that does much for contams.

Do I need to dump it and start over, or will pasteurization take care of anything?

I hydrate my coir with tap water all the time.

Distilled isn't for substrates.  Do a search on google about distilled water, it has no nutrients and is very different from any natural water source.

Correct.  Don't use distilled.

Thanks for the info, anyway.

Looks like I won't have to start over after all!
