Then I read that the contaminants in tap water kill bennies, so I thought about adding H2O2 to the res. But if tap water kills microbes, wouldn’t...

    Is brita filtered water adequate for the whole grow?

    My tap water comes in around 40ppm after running it through the brita pitcher. So far my plants (2 in veg, 1 seedling) are doing great started all 3 at the same time just got a straggler. Will I need to switch to distilled/ro later? Or will it be fine to keep using the filtered throughout?
