so you're assuming alkaline water would damage the crop by nute burn, nute burn only happens when you have a over 1300 ppm never tried to grow with a high ph before, i have a water ionizer that produces alkaline water above 9.1 maybe i should try once and show the info of outcome

I think you could pull it off with the right medium.. Peat moss has a low ph.. 4.5 or so.. the proper amendments would help.. You might be able to find a good medium that works with a higher ph water. If you have a water source at the ph then I could see why you would want to try. Less work is always better, imo.what do you guys thing?
i was thinking on give my plants some high alkaline water like 8.0 or 8.5 with nutrients? and advice or tips would be helpful
cheers,
I think with a good soil you could pull off 8 - 8.5 just fine.. I don't fuck with ph'ing my veggie beds and they do pretty well. I'm pretty sure tomatoes like a lower ph than mj.. i have to drench raised beds in July and August with 9.1 ph several times a week and they do ok.. not like my indoor garden though.
