Can someone help with my water?

[Eternulwinter]

So my water ppm/hardness is 75 out of tap and and 7.4 ph.think I need to add a bit of cal mag to each watering to bring up a bit.how do I go about this? Adjust ph down and then add cal mag til I’m in range and use it

or add cal mag first then ph down the water?

what about when I add nutes?

Add a tablespoon of white vinegar to each watering can. 7 L water. Soak the plant. Every day for 2 weeks. Get some PH test strips and check The PH in the can. Add or subtract a little vinegar as needed to get a 6.0 test. Over a couple of weeks you will bring the PH of your soil withing range. Get a test kit and test every couple of weeks. I use rain water that it 7.0 and 1 tbs pr 7 L is spot on 6.0 . After That Test run off. Try and keep the PH 6.0.

Friken doctors. They wanna dump you in cal-mag and vinegar before they even know what's wrong.

Is that just ppm or is it hardness?
If it's hardness, do you know the Cal:Mag ratio?
There are cheap aquarium test kits that can give you some answers.

Look up your water report online. You should find it in the county ag dept or water supply website.

Yep yep at 75ppm I would say the water hardness is around 40-55ppm likely calcium carbonate.

Likely needs to add a small amount of alkalinity as a buffer of in coco or hydro... soil no issue with that.
