Hi, I am a new grower =) . (some back ground) I did all my research etc. I found a good place to buy RO water, 2 bucks for 19.9L a pop. I am using a 20L pale for my veg reservoir.
Well, I had bought well over 1k worth of equipment .. but for the life of me, no one had ph up! Anyhow, the Ro water is about 5 And I noticed previously that spring water was really high. So... i thought, what the hell, i'll throw a 1 litre into a 19.9 litre reservoir. It brought my PH to 6.0 .. I was aiming for 5.8... but i was happy after some googling =) Anyway, I just made a second load, after i finished my calmag, nutes, etc, the PH was very low, about 4.7, I tried 1/2 litre... mixed well, was at low 5... added 250ml... i hit 5.4 i think... then got my smaller measuring cup, and tossed in 80ml ... bam!... I am at 5.8
I am a total noob, but from everything I google about water.. I think it is very safe, and healthy alternative.. or Please gently explain why this is bad. (it rose .1 on the first bucket, on about the 12/13th day of use to 6.1) so it seems stable...
feedback please
