Just got my hands on a ph meter and ph up and down and tested my tap water that I used on my plants and it was at 8.6. I grow in soil and that's way to high. Explains why I was having issues

My water PH same as urs. If ur growing organically PH isn’t a priority.

Did u calibrate the pen before use? The reading may be off if you didn't do so before using the pen.

my tap water is around 9.0 , a good pH meter is most important
