good PH# for water

nuthn2looze Registered on Aug-24-2007 More User Info Message #84260 posted by nuthn2looze (Info) September 29, 2007 17:01:48 ET Hey farmers, My water has a PH between 6.8-7.2. What is a good PH for watering my plants with? If my water has a high PH than my soil will be high as well I'm assuming. How can I lower the PH in the water, or should I just water and then try to adjust the soil PH? Seems I could cut out a step if I could just lower the water #. Does that make sense and is there a way to do that? Thanks

(like a little digital square pen . usually you get both the pens "ph meter" and a "ec meter" ec measures how strong the ferts are . here are the link to a usa hydrostore to show you the goods : ) http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=524&navid=55 (ph down "cheapest".... just so you know DO NOT MIX PH UP WITH PH DOWN ... THEY EXPLODE AND THEY ARE ACID!!!!!) to be safe just get ph down .. http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=406&navid=13 these things are expensive and a ph meter needs calibration solution but when you got them you are IN CONTROL and when you are in control the plants change from being crap plants to being proper plants... hope this helps if your in anyother country i'll post another link :) laterz

P.S. if u have a p.h. meter for soil u use it to check the soil,not the water right ? peace. BLAZE
