Hey all, just wondering if any body feeds with bottled water. If so, what kind? Just curious and don't want to go with water with to high or low of ph. Any certain brand that have been tried and are known to be hazardous to the plants

:joint:?Thanks

distilled water is gonna end up not being cost effective.. get some ph up/down.. If you have the money get an RO filter.. You waste a TON of water though.

You won't find water that is 5.5 to 6.5 so you will have to pH adjust any of it. RO water is best, I can buy it for 1/3 the cost of distilled.

Ive Used Arrowhead and Ive used Tap water after letting it sit out for 24hours. They both test 6.5-7ph. Just thought 7 may be just a little high.

I had a similar post but didnt get any feed back. Let me get this straight if I let plain ol tap water sit out for 24 hours the pH lvl will lower??

I can buy ro water at the supermarket for .33 a gallon but I have my own ro unit. It would be very rare to have tap water as low as pH 7. But 7 is still too high. You can't find water with a low enough pH for hydro weed, you have to adjust it. Jorge Cervantes says start with ro water. Take it from there.

i use tap water my tap water comes out at 7.6 with 25ppm i adjust the ph as needed and it cost nuthin.. check yer tap water might be better than ya think... if you dnt have a ph tester get one, if no ppm meter you can find a water analysis online for yer local treatment plant
