Hello,

There is no way to answer your question.

It all depends on what the pH balance of the water coming out of your tap is, or what bottled water, etc.

Neutral water will have a natural pH balance of 7.0. It changes from there depending on source, aditives, quality, etc.

You are going to have to purchase a meter or some other manner of testing your water and nutrient mix.

Here is a link to a decent pH pen. They also sell EC and TDS pens there also.

any city water has usually a higher sided PH ,so PH down it a bit ,in canada anyway. But in the countyside anywhere out of any town or city ,any stream ,pond etc.,the water is primo.

Yeah its primo, but raw water varies mucho grande!! My raw source runs around 8.5-9.5 way to high but it can go as high as 11+ in some alkaline pools or as low as 5.0 where there is a lot of tannic acid in the water. Bottom line, there is no way to answer your question.
