PH at 6.5 to 6.7 is this high?

[2kstyle]

Hey wassup guys, my new leaves coming out are all twisted and look like that it has a zinc deficiancy. But it could be heat also. But I bought a PH/moisture meter yesterday, and found out that my pots are all about 6.5 PH is this high? Do I have to bring down the PH? How do I bring down the PH level? please help.

hey i'm using Eden Falls mineral water which has a PH of 6.9 and my plants seem to be happy in it.

tried to post this and my browser crashed - so am trying again:

Chek out Appendix A on page 24 for a list of PH levels in bottled mineral water:

shit, my plant must be reacting like that because of heat then. damn, it's warm in there. I got to get a thermometer in there. thanks for the post

anybody else

if in soil, then the ph is good, to high for hydro

how about 7 to 6.8 PH level

maybe a little high but I think it would still be ok for soil. Its probably heat.

In my soil I water with ph 6.8 water. I dont bother with bottled water I use tap water which has a ppm of 150-200 from the tap. If it was hydro then 5.5-5.8 would be needed. If your not using 1500 ppm of co2 then temps need to be 70-78 range. If using co2 at the needed 1500 ppm then temps pf 80-87 would be good.Whats yoour humidity?

not sure what my humidity is, but i live in hawaii. so humidity is present in our air as is. but don't got a gauge measuring the humidity. but I think I should be reducing the temp cause it's more in the 80 - 87 range without co2. I just posted something with a picture of my plant just now. well appreciate the help

keep ur PH levl between 6.3-7.0 and ull be fine!

yeah your temps are way to high get your humidity down to around 35-45% and thatll be ok

how do you bring up the humidity level?
