IDEAL Water PH Question...

[kdspecial]

Ok I have read and read and read about Ph and Its importance to this plant and all plants. I can now acuratly test the Ph of my water with a digital Pen. Hurrah!!

I have herd diffrent things about Ideal Ph. My question is.

If I am using ProMix BX. What should the Ph of my water be at the three stages of the plants Life. these are the elements I have. Boatnicare PRO Pure gro/Bloom and Super thrive.

SeedLing .... before 3 weeks Adding only SuperThrive.

Vegitative .... Adding Nutes and SuperThrive

Flowering ... Adding Nutes and NO SuperThrive

Should the Ph of my water be the same for all stages of the planst life or Diffrent through each? Is the ideal Ph between 6.0 and 6.5?

Any help is greatly appreciated as I read and read and read about the Ph of Water and seem to only get more confused. hahahahaha Perhaps im over thinking it.

thansk Ya'lll

yep you have the right idea, maintain that PH and thats fine.

you might be getting confused with hydrophonics, where the water is needed to be slighly lower (more acid) i think?

growing in soil that ph is fine for your water and soil.

Cool thanks for the info...

yeah Hydro I understand is 5.5 to 6.5 MAX!!!!

but What I was more looking for is...

Is there an advantage in haveing my water during seedling stage to be 6.0Ph as opposed to 6.7 6.5 or 7Ph etc?

I do know my seedlings will grow if I don't Ph my water at all in promix. If i simply use Tap water at Ph7. But much like everyone else I want the best It can be since I can now get a proper Ph reading of my water.

or like I mentioned above am I thinking to hard about PH? and its importance?

thanks again

im sure someone else can advise you better than me, but i wouldnt worry at all unless you go less than 6 or more than 7
