Tweakanswered grow question 4 years ago I just use rainwater collected in my rain barrel, I don’t ph test every time I fill the watering can, but I test enough to know that the pH doesn’t fluctuate very much, it’s always between 6.8-7, being rainwater there’s almost no tds, but I’ve never had an issue since I started growing in organic super soil. Also the other plants this run are also from the same batch of soil with no such issues.
