Being I use bottled water, do I have to worry about the PH? I don't check it bc of that. Do I still need to?

As long as you use bottled water and pH balanced nutrients then you have nothing to worry about since bottled water usually comes in the 6.0-7.0 neutral range. Later through the grow using bottled water will be to costly so I suggested a few other options on a different question of yours hopefully that helps! When you switch from bottled water to a different source then do check the pH before every irrigation (if you have a reservoir then you only need to check when it is filled) Good luck and happy growing :)

Yes. Plants prefer slightly acidic substrate depending on what your using. If distilled water it should be ph 7. You want around 5.8 to 6.3. Make sure to have 20 percent run off if using chemicals to grow so salts don't build up in substrate causing ph to bottom out and lock out.
