PH water in confusion 😕

Grow Support
1

Just got a new PH tester today. Haven’t been able to test water in until now and I’m hoping I get a bit more growth after I learn this.

Firstly, Am I testing this correctly. Don’t laugh. Seem pretty obvious but just checking. :rofl:

Secondly, what PH am I aiming for, for water in? Around 6.3-6.8 for growing in soil?

Thirdly, what’s the best product to either boost or reduce PH in your opinion?

And yes, I know it a cheapy and probably not the most accurate. And yes, I will invest in a better one very soon! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This is the correct range for a soil grow. Runoff pH should be in that range as well. Hydro and coco grows should be ~5.9.
