HI Adam
I used fresh tap water....never saw much benefit on the growth front adding fertilizer to the misting water.
I actually had the opposite got algae on the moss wood....so went back to just fresh tap-water.
Fresh out the tap is best....don't leave the water standing in a bottle for a few days then spray.
Plus if you add to much ferts...you can burn the HC leaves with the salts....if the humidity drops.
Cheers

Remember there is Macro/Micro ferts in tap water.
Grown moss on wood in a propagator....also carpet plants.
Same difference smaller version what your trying to achieve....2 months would be abought right for that size.
