Hey Ripper question on watering my auto if i use distiled water does anything have to be checked in it ?? or does anything have to be added?? what would the process be?? My second question is when i put the seed in root riot and plant the whole thing in my pot should i just water the root riot and seed ,or do you water the whole pot?? Thanks.

i'm sure ripper can/will answer this better but just giving some input from my experience (and what i think is an easy answer).
don't think it NEEDS to be ph'd, i haven't ph'd mine or even attempted to monitor its ph (i've read that it's difficult to read distilled water's ph with a meter because of its low ionic strength) without any problems. not ph'ing tap water is a no-no i've found out, but wouldn't worry about distilled.
and on adding stuff to it, that just depends on your medium and all that. if you're using an amended or super soil you should just need water, but if you're using coco or hydro you'll want nutes early on, etc.
and while they're just seeds/seedlings i'd say water only in the immediate area, a whole pot of damp soil with a plant not large enough to use it all will take longer to dry and can create nice conditions for pests
