Ok. So they say it's ph perfect.

I'm starting some autos. White widdow and think different. Slow growth to start. 6 days old now.

I've been using the 3 part. Micro-grow-bloom.

I just measured my ph at 6.7. Using the bottles instruction 1ml/litre for seedlings. 352 ppm is what it equals to. Which I'm cool with that. But...

You would think a "Ph perfect" would want a ph at 5.8.

I don't get it.

The guy at the shop said don't ph it. Let it be. It will mess it up. But my instincts want to ph it.

What should I doo?

At low ppm I use distilled water and it sets at 5.8-5.9, after I get up to 5-600 ppm it will set the ph of my tap water with a ph of 9.3, I haven't measured ph since the beginning of my last grow.

Ok. Well. My water is kept in a tote for like days at a time. I'm guessing u mean store bought distiller water?. Or can I just ph it?

Thanks for the reply.

I don't ph it, I buy distilled for 50 cents a gallon until I get the ppm up, around 600 ppm is where it sets my shitty tap water but the distilled has a much lower ph than my tap, that's why I go that route.

Just set it to 600ppm now. The buffers in the mixture can't work at low ppms. Low ppm = low buffering capacity.
