How do I PH distilled water? Im using organic soil and top dressings. The ph in my soil right now is 7.3. Im using pure distilled water and cannot figure out how to adjust the PH of it. I want to lower the PH in my medium.

Hi, Growing in soil, ahs the big advantage, that the soil buffers the PH. If you use ready mixed soil or amended peatmoss tehre is always a buffer ( magnesiumcarbonate MgCO3 CaO).... this brings always the right Ph back to you---- Its called " dolomitelome" too so dont worry , while growing in soil for the right PH I mix my soils by myself and using magnesiumcarbonate as addition

For starters, your going to need some ph up/down to add to the water. also distilled water normally has a low ph like 4 or 5, so flushing with the distilled water until runoff comes out to what you're looking for, I would suggest bringing it down between 6.0-6.5. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Your plants are fine dude.. looks really nice.. Ph is important when it comes to seeing deficiencies or problems... like 75% of the time growers either use too much (dark green is not a good colour) or there ph is super out of whack from there own hands... I see a bit of what could be interpreted as yellowing.. or normal healthy growth... yours plants should have a variation or difference between newer and older leaves.. Newer leaves should be lighter in color while older leaves should be darker... Phenotype expression happens much later into flower so in veg your plants should look relatively uniform even when growing different strains..

@Mrs_Larimar is correct... Quality Soils.. Containing peat have buffers to keep your lady healthy... I will take a good look at your plant and let you know if I think it's ph... I see ph issues a lot as I grow hydro Even something as simple as the spring run off raising my tap water by 100 ppm.. Throws the balance off..

Can just buy "PH down" if you want to lower the PH in your soil.
