    Hey blades,
     
    I recently got myself some distilled water.  I'm starting a hydro set up.  
     
    I've heard that after water is run through a reverse osmosis filter, some minerals and/or micro-nutrients the plant needs are also filtered out.  I've heard that cal/mag needs to be replenished after filtration.  Which minerals/nutes do I need to supplement for?
     
    How will adding nutrients to my reservoir impact my ppm?  What are optimal and recommended ppm levels for a hydro grow?  
     
    Thanks!
