Anyone know the perfect pH for flowering. My distilled water is about 7.6, is this bad?

I'll post the chart its from our FAQs posted by Zandor

Nice chart BukDat, very helpful.

So if i understand right that chart is showing what the ph In the soil should come out to? I dont have a soil pH tester, just one for the water that im giving it. Do you know what the range for the pH in the water that is fed should be?

Also is the white filled with the black outlined number in the middle of each, the perfect pH?

litespeed, in Zandors chart 6.0 looks a little bit low for soil. Are you talking about the pH for the water that you are feeding, or for the soil?

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Are you growing in soil or in Hydro. The chart that zador posted is a good indication. If growing in Hydro you start with the base and work from there. In hydro I keep mine at 6. Each type of weed is a little different but can adjust the Ph by .2 one way or the other. I measure the PPM so know when the plant loves the ph as the PPM will move one way or other. Plants go through bit of a cycle either take in water or nut sometimes both. If Ph not right plant will not do anything.

What is a PPM?

[stickygreenlightsabr]

PPM is parts per million.

The best pH for your situation is arounf 6.5-6.8. You can test the pH of the runoff water instead of the actual soil.
