whats up fellow growers, im on my first grow right now. my babies are 2 inches tall as of this morning. i dont have any means of ph testing my water at the moment. i need someone who would be willing to get some bottled water and test the ph just so i know what area im in. i live in the u.s., i dont know what water brands there are in the uk, but we have sparkletts arrowhead etc. i really appreciate anyone willing to take the time to check. its just been bothering me since they sprouted, and i only want the best for my babies. later and thanks, d. b.

did a quick search: arrowhead is 8.1 so needs bringing down to about 6 in soil.

you can probably find a better one on the site just go to the home page and look for one you can buy and check the best pH for your needs (around 5.8 to 6.2).

How about trying car battery top-up water. That should be neutral as it’s deionised. You can by a gallon of it over here for next to nothing from car spares shops.

This board will never cease to amaze and blow me away! How the feck do you find a website that gives "ph" for bottled water...Brilliant. This board is a font of knowledge
Anyone know next weeks lottery numbers...?

well, that was an interseting web site. i found that most bottled water is too high as far as ph is concerned. looks like sparkletts is at 7.2, still too high. but perrier is at 5.9, but im not sure about the addatives. what do you think?
