Ph really isn't that big of a deal for germination but the process is slower when the levels are high... like 7.0 and up high

Why?

I use 8.0 well water. Good seeds are tap rooted in less than 24 hours in a moist coffee filter all the time. I dont adjust ph ever. Watered in tap rooted seeds emerge from the soil quickly too. Last one i showed on my thread came up in like 20 hours after planting.

Your sales must suck to have to spam a site full of growers. Sorry about your business.

I'm in the s/w area of the country, I never used a digital ph meter so I've always gone by the color and its redder than anything on the bottle.
I'll do more research but I know the local water here is heavily treated and contains a lot of metals. Maybe the quality of the well water makes a difference? I shall do sum digging!

Ok I did my homework in 3 minutes lol. Well water has a higher ph because it contains more minerals and nutrients vs. City water that's been treated and filtered to get rid of pollutants.
It makes a little sense, my beans usually pop in 4 days and I use the water you see at those fill up stations

Source water quality should be the first step in setting up a garden from what I have learned.

My well water is .3 ec (150ppm) and 8.0 ph out of the tap. It has too much iron and not enough magnesium. It is very important to know this. Like I surely dont need cal mag but i need nutes with magnesium.

That is too much generalization. Local city water near me has more mineral content but adjusted ph.

What is most important about the water is alkalinity. Search alkalinity and fertilizing or gardening.

So far I haven't found much other than what we all ready talked about. CDC and other sources
all support the claim that well water is of better quality due to toxins and pollutants not being there. As far as why the ph is higher I believe that would change based on location but haven't found any definitive answers

I got the Vivosun for like $100 and it is really good. I feel like $200+ for that is expensive

I agree I just got a 4 by 4 tent for $90 that is fireproof & an Aglex 2000 cob for $240..together they are the best setup for your money in my opinion. Together you can stuff that tent & pull good yields off every harvest.

Water Quality: pH and Alkalinity : Greenhouse & Floriculture : Center for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (CAFE) at UMass Amherst

Recently, some growers have expressed concern about the "high pH" of their irrigation water and its potential adverse effects on plants. The purpose of this article is to allay some of these concerns by pointing out the difference between "high pH" and "high alkalinity".

If you bring electric from the top you won’t have hanging cords. You can pull the cords in and out of the tent to adjust slack ;)

Looking clean bro! Can’t believe you are going hydro! I’ll be watching, I either want to try coco or hydro next.
