So I have some tomato seeds germin' away in soil (well hopefully)...today is day 2 as they were set yesterday....I have a mix of Miracle Grow moisture control with perlite mixed at about a 3:1 ratio. I am watering with pH 6.0 water...however I collected some of the runoff and the runoff appears to be pH 8.0+.
First germ session...
I am using the drops to measure pH and the runoff I used had some perlite and dirt in it so I am unsure of the accuracy. However it very closely resembles the pH 8 color chart portion. My question becomes....do I lower the pH of my water I am adding to further lower the pH of the runoff?
I was thinking about why the water was this pH and when I initially flushed as Cranker suggested, with my pH 8 tapwater I think that's how I ended up in this spot.....(this is the method I used for soil prep at least)

So should I lower my pH to like 5.5 for waterings until my runoff is closer to 6? Or let it ride and just continue the method? If cranker could chime in that's be f'n sweet lol but any help is appreciate.
