I’m in the process of redoing our 2nd floor bathroom. We’re down to studs and I removed the dryrotted 15/32″ subfloor that was there. Yesterday I purchased some 3/4″ OSB and glued and screwed every 6″ as part one of my subfloor. The original floor joists are 2×8’s 16″ on center, so I ended up doubling each of them up for additional strength since I had the kitchen gutted downstairs under the bathroom. It’s a small bathroom 5×9 and I was planning on using procelin floor tiles.
Am I screwed since I used OSB instread of plywood? I was going to put down 1/2″ durarock and then Ditra on top of that, is that a bad idea?
Thanks in advance

I don't think so
Structurally, OSB and plywood perform about the same. Keep it dry and you should be fine.
Yes, definitely screwed.
