yea my unfiltered well water comes out at 56 degrees F. 7.01 ph and a 875ppm. im trying to get my ppm down to 600 and ph to 5.2 for my newly rooted plants. as i stablize my ppm at 600 the ph rises and as i use a ph decreaser the ph slowly decreases while the ppm skyrockets how can i fix this?kiss-ass

so in other words how can i lower my ph if the ph decreaser makes my ppm too high and my house water is 7ph and 800pmm normally.
ph needs to be around 5.2 right?
ppm 800 for new plants?

what does PPM mean
ppm means partpermil

it like the nute strength
in other world how mucg salt(nute)
in your water


you could let the water sit for a day to lower ppm

get ph down to get ph at 5.9

boil the water to lower ppm
by water out the store

if this was helpful give me rep

you cannot grow much weed with 875ppm water.

You will need to use distilled water
or purchase a reverse osmosis machine
and make your own 000 tds water.

RO is one of the "must have's" to grow hydro.
along with a very accurate pH meter.

good luck.

Just buy some filtered water and mix it with your well water at half and half and see how that works for you.

I use straight tap water myself.
My suggestion was to help you lower your ppm of your tap water.
If the plants are doing fine with the water you are using, keep using it.

Usually it is heat that makes them stop growing.
If the water is too cold, that can shock the roots and make the plants stop growing too.
