Ok..so I currently have 2 nice,green seedlings in small plastic cups filled with coco coir+perlite.Every day Im watering with untampered bottled water,no nutrients as of yet.When I start feeding them,Ima start with low doses of Bat Guano+Bottled water...I have a few questions though...

1.What is the normal Ph of bottled water,it should be neutral right?? :-?

2.Since bottled water has no nutrients,should I be adding anything to the coir?Ive heard you have to add some type of Cal-Mag,is this true?How soon should I start feeding them,considering coir has no nutrients like soil?....:eyesmoke:

3.Im using the Miracle Grow Perlite,will the roots absorb the nutrient in it..or not?Any body else use MG Perlite?Does it cause nute burn?
:mrgreen::blsmoke:

Thanks!
 
Ok..so what is the usual range Ph of bottled water??Should I lower it even more?If so,how can I do this?Ive heard of using vinegar..or should I jus leave it how it is??Also,what household things can I use for Cal-Mag??
 
there are no substitutes for cal/mag. Yes vinegar can be used to lower the pH. Buy a pH tester with the red drops for pools, I don't know he pH of bottled water.
 
Oh ok..where can I buy this Ph test thing??Should I just order the test strips?Anybody else have any answers to my questions?
 
the test strips aren't as accurate as the drops. You can get the test kits at any wal-mart, home depot, or lowes
