Normal water Ph levels for outdoor growing?

What is the normal water ph you need for a healthy plant ?

I have a clone and the PH of my filtered water has been tested at 7.2, I'm wondering what the optimum level would be.

it is something i never worry about out doors as you are relying on the rain to do most of the watering and you cant ph that...

You want the ph of your soil to be slightly acidic (6.3-6.8) so test that and then water accordingly. If your soil is 6.5 or below then 7ish water is great.
