Germinating seeds. Do I need to PH the water?

[Knowledge Transfer]

Do yall PH the water you germinate with? I have distilled water and am going to use the paper towel method. Just not sure if its necessary to PH the water. Thanks dudes!

I would use bottled drinking water I had a lot of issues using distilled
No ph required but 6.2 wouldn’t hurt

I don’t pH my tap water. Fill a solo cup with water and toss the seeds in for 24-36 hrs or so and plant in your medium. They’re ready to go and don’t require a paper towel.

I'm quite lucky in having good tap water, ph is close to 7 and EC 0, to 0.1 so I don't bother.
I'd say it depends on how good/bad your tap water is.
