where i live i dont know why but ive not had to ph the water i just bring them up with boiled/cooled water....this is not the case for every one.
i should get ph kits...i just find that when people bring there plant up on ph'ed water they incur problems when ph is slightly out i should really get test kit i just think untill i get a problem that indicates ph problem then i will most def i just fined brining them up with just water is fine
i could be wrong but not had any problems so far.....anyways so yea get the runoff as close to 6.5 as ya can
is it possible i might need this stuff???
Phosphorus (P) is necessary for photosynthesis and works as a catalyst for energy transfer within the plant. Phosphorus helps build strong roots and is vital for flower and seed production. Highest levels of phosphorus are used during germination, seedling growth and flowering. Deficiencies will show in older leaves first. Leaves turn deep green on a uniformly smaller, stunted plant. Leaves show brown or purple spots.
NOTE: Phosphorus flocculates when concentrated and combined with calcium
