If your water is way out of range then yes, ph it. The microbes arent gonna buffer it 2 whole points. My water is 8.4 out of the tap
Do you ph it down? If so what with? My water is about 8.3 coming from a hose filter
same as rain.
citric acid powder for baking or gummies works, or vinegar is cheapest usually.
I've been using well water an haven't had a problem then I used distilled water 2 watering an it started to turn yellow I went back to well water an plants are getting back green. I checked the ph an it comes out my tap at 7
Dude knows his stuff!
The municipal water in Denver is 8.5 - 9 area to help reduce lead leaching from the remaining old piping.
I was confused for a second then realized it was both my favorite podcast hosts on the same pod cast 😂😂
Same 😂😂
This was deep
Like I was in church- great sermon about soil and pH
Absolutely you should ph your water if it’s outta range .
The PH level for cannabis is a crucial factor that directly influences nutrient availability and absorption by the plant! Cannabis plants greatly thrive in a slightly acidic to neutral PH range. The best Ph level for cannabis falls between 6.0 and 7.0 with a sweet spot of 6.5 in soil and 6.0 in coco. ! Loyal to the soil
You know, I appreciate this answer... When conversations about chemistry arise, they tend to be omnidimensional. There is (typically) no straight forward, "one size fits all" answer for anything outside of a laboratory or similarly controlled environment. Great job on this one👍🏼
I am using living soil BAS recipe & craft blend
I have well water in the 8's after the sediment and carbon filter
I did a couple runs like this then I ph my water to 6.5 in the reservoir was the only difference and my plants grow so much better, bigger ect ect
Simple fix is diluting filtered tap water at 50/50 with R/O Water! It cuts the hardness and lowers pH!
@@Harzexe It all depends on what part of the country you are in and how hard the tap water is! Typically 300ppm-450ppm can be experienced in different locals! Would have to know what your starting point is!
This dude is the g of growimg and mr grow it the g n podcast game ,just my opinion
My understanding of PH has been expanded 10 fold. Thank you .
Same here buddy. I have seen so many organic, living soil manufacturers say that there is no need to PH water before watering but this explained exactly why. I can move forward with a little more faith now.
So glad I found this video. I had seen or heard it said numerous times that soil PH is the most important thing but this explained so well why that is.
Logan labs is down the road by me .
It’s not cheap to get a water analysis neither is a soil test , but water tip here .. Take your water to your local pool dealership and they will do a free basic analysis on your water. It’s not mass spectrometer test but it’ll do and it’s free.,
My tap water is 8ph which I ph down to about 6.5ph
I use an inline RV charcoal filter that screws onto a garden hose for the city water from my tap. I have a fitting on it that I can unscrew the hose from my shower head and attach it to the filter. If I need water right away I adjust the temp and fill my 3 gallon jugs
I do the same but straight from a well before the water softener. Plants seem to be liking it better than the purified water from Walmart. Have contaminated pool strips so I'm just winging it.
Citric acid is an unbelievably good pH down. It's much cheaper by volume and won't add unnecessary phosphorus in your ripening stage.
Cheap way I use to go with waaaaay back 20 years ago was buy a master aquarium ph kit for 20$ comes with everything u need ph up and down if u want I haven’t tested water in over a decade don’t need to plus I use my pond water start to finish and I get awesome plants herb herbs fruits veggies
I collected in a 1 gallon bucket, rainwater (2- 3 inches) and took same amount of my tap water, rainwater was 7.1and the tap was 7..like Jeremy said, trust the soil. appreciate the videos!Peace and love from Ohio
I've grown exclusively with homemade distilled and reverse osmosis water for over 6 years now. They both have the same problem which is easily solved: they have too few minerals and thus little to no ionic charge. These waters cause problems if used consistently for drinking water or for plants. But all you have to do to correct this issue is to add minerals back into them within a certain range. I use sea agri's sea-90 product until the water is in the range of 40-50 ppm and it completely solves the issue.
Since distilled water is slightly acidic, it's fine to use in terms of pH, but adding the minerals creates the ionic charge necessary to releases minerals into the soil and soil organisms as it should. When you get distilled or reverse osmosis water back into the 40-50ppm range via balanced minerals, it becomes a mineral water that is gentle enough that it won't ever create any salt or mineral buildups over time, while still gently providing necessary minerals for soil and plants. For drinking water you can use more than 40-50ppm, but for plants I wouldn't go above that range.
love it!! keep it coming!!
I had to comment. He mentioned buying water. Hauling it being a pain
I live in Alaska and in a dry cabin..which is without water at all. It’s like camping long term in that respect. Anyway we haul our water lmao yes it can be a pain. In the summer I collect rain water to supplement my gardens.
4 reals thats was a good question .💯
Logan Ohio?
I’m from Ohio, but the fun city lol
I appreciate the laboratory info! I’d love to have this water tested
Hello and welcome 🙏
Interesting topic. I live in St. Louis, MO and my tap water is 9.4. I have been wondering the same question. I recently called into Build a Soil and asked what I should do (I grow in BAS 3.0). I also have an RO system (ph is about 8.4 after), and a 3 stage sediment and carbon filter system (ph is 9.2 after). I bought a BAS product called Thrive per their recommendation with the 9.2 carbon filtered water. It does seem to help. I checked the ph on the 9.2 filtered water with the Thrive and some organic Bud Candy (for some Super Lemon Haze in flower) and the ph measured 6.9. I’m still kind of shocked that the water in St. Louis county is 9.4 out of the tap. I am going to have a soil sample tested after this grow, but I have to say, I have never had a grow like this with buds the size of my forearm in a 3x3 bed. Gotta give it up to Jeremy, and Build a Soil! Thanks Chris for another fantastic video!
I graple regularly 😅😂 lol
Yeah it depends alot on the soil elements for all plants b cuz for example im growing a tropical fruit tree and it loves acidic soil so my soil at 7.0 so i was watering with tap water and tap water is about 7.1 where i live a little alkaline kinda neutral level so i left the water out side for acouple days and added a weak acid sulphuric acid to bring water down to 6 .5 i water my plants soil was around 6.6 but with in few days it went 6.8to 7.0 back to neutral so changing water is temporary but its good to get neutral water but if u want a water without chemicals or toxins get spring water or put a filter on your tap water or use a water pitcher with a filter to water your plants that would help .in my case i have to put elemental sulfur into the soil its organic and in time the bacteria and microbes will convert it to acidic to lower the ph naturally in the soil i use to think i can just change the water ph but its takes good soil elements to do that . for my blue berries and jobotacabis there more on the acidic side 5.5 to 6.5 but if your doing hydroponics some people use a ph down or ph up .
The answer is yes.
i think we need to be careful about how we discuss soil PH vs the PH of the water. i think all could agree that a moderate PH in the soil zone is ideal and that extremes there would cause a problem. so soil PH is important. but whether we need to be PHing our water is where you would have options, and most water out of the tap would indeed work fine in a living soil grow. with that said, extremes there as well can throw off the soil PH.
What about rain water?
This!
We have some of the best water here where I live around the St. Louis area due to Anheuser-Busch. They require good water. However, it comes out of my tap super high ph 8.5+ and considered great for drinking
I’m in St. Louis too, county. I get 9.4 ph out of the tap. I just posted something about 5 minutes ago about the water in our area. And I always thought our water was good for drinking and taste, but apparently not the best for growing cannabis.
Same here man, I’m in stl. County. The chloramine is killer as well. I’m all organic. Do you use the straight tap water?
@nathans2772 I have both a 3 stage sediment/carbon filter system and an RO system. I use the RO water for my humidifier and the carbon filter water for my organic plants. The RO water moves to 8.4ph, but the carbon filtered water is at 9.2ph. I grow the Build a Soil way. I just about finished my first grow in a 3x3 bed, and I have never seen anything like this before.
Very nice, I’m right there with you as far as the build a soil way. I just use the boogie blue plus filter and found some awesome ph adjusting crystals that work great! It took some research to find these crystals but works great
PH rain water one time 🧐😳 it's scary. Just think about what they naturally get 🤔
When watering pre amended soil what should my ppm be Tia
nice video
what if my tap ph is 9.5? Is that still safe to give my plants?
Can't wait until I finally know what all those words mean lololol
What did the indians do? 🤣
Thanks for the refresher clip. 🤜🌟🤛🪴🪴🪴
