Help ph levels

For drinking water, nah you're fine.

Or... is this for your plants? Medium you're using would reallllly help answer your question.
 
Sorry yes it’s for my plants they look healthy but just wondering if it will be bad for them in the long run ?
 
6 is low as he also shared it dropped below 6. 6 is not BAD, but its at the low end. I'm quite familiar with the chemistry as I'm a hydro grower. Attached some charts that may help both of you.

6.5 is typically a good sweet spot. Gives you buffer if it goes up or down slightly as plant feeds.

Thanks for that mate how can I get my ph up to 6.5 ?
 
Use a PH up solution. I use GH PH up. Typically though, nutes have ph buffers and you normally don't have to ph up. You're ph adjusting nute mix dead last right?

If you want to try a bandaid solution before spending money, use a tiny amount of baking soda, less than a pinch of salt worth in the liquid. Mix and ph test.

So rainwater would kill pretty quick then, that's 5.5, I'm happy to hear the chemistry of soil.

Do you have purpose in this thread or you just trying to show how ignorant you are? My comment to OP was his PH is low for soil. I don't know how competent you are to understand that because it really sounds like you're trying to start something from nothing. My information to OP has been 100% insightful to find out what's up with his plants. Go troll in the politics section since this is not your strong suite.

How do I test the soli I didn’t no I had to test that ?
