Hello everyone, this is my first post. I'm growing for the first time and where I live the water is horrible. I recently purchased a Reverse-Osmosis De-Ionizing water filtration system and it works like a charm just stripping the water of everything... 0000ppm.
My question is about PH levels while using R/O water. My target PH is 5.9-6.0. After filtering the water through the system it comes out with PH @ 8.1. I realize that I have to PH after adding any nutrients, but what about plain water for spray bottles, or if I need to just use plain water in relation to my cannabis plants in any way? Do I need to PH the plain water? I have tried and just one single drop of PH down takes 8.1 plain R/O water all the way down to a PH of 3.9. I usually throw away mixtures if I add too much PH up or down and start over so as to not play roller coaster with my solutions and PH.
What does everyone do to PH plain water?
Is it necessary when spritzing the foliage with plain water?
