Do you pH your water when growing in soil?

[PadawanWarrior]

Yes. It's even on the annual water quality report mailed out.

Crazy. Just seems really high.

I know. I always see other people posting numbers way lower than what we have. It makes me want an RO unit real bad. Especially since I'll be getting into indoor with coco here soon.

Curious to hear from the organic growers if they pH their water when growing in soil.

Yes, I do. My reasoning is that I know my soil can buffer any feed that I give it ,but knowing the PH just gives me piece of mind.

This goes for anyone that does mess with pH. Do you use a bottled pH up/down or do you use citric acid and baking soda to adjust?

Is the water in your municipality supplied from a water tower filled with pumped up well water? I know many cities in Canada still have those. Do you know what those 500 ppm are? Just carbonates?

Adding silica is a good angle to get the added benefit.
