PH for plants is 5.5 to 6.5. The water I use is tap water that has been sitting in milk jugs for a few days. The way you find your PH in soil is to water your plant and with the run off test that.
The cheap way to test your PH is to go to Hobby Lobby and they will have a litmus ph test kit. All it is, is some paper with a spot you get wet and it will tell you your PH. If you want to play like the big boys do they have meters you can buy. They run from $50 to &1000's.
