Try to get a pH meter mate, even a one and calibrate it with the powders a couple of times, will make a big difference rather than guess work.
You will probably be be to use tap water but will probably need some pH- / pH+ but the good news is just a couple of drops change your pH quite quickly so you won't need much of it and it's pretty cheap

Hi, I personally would advise against doing everything without a pH meter. I ordered one on eBay for €10 and it works very well. If your pH isn't right, you'll just run into problems with your grow.
Good luck with your grow 😉👍

Soilless PH window specific peat/coco/perlite mixOk I need the nail in the coffin guys. I’m using Fafard Root Factory RF C8. Picture shows ingredients. What is my ideal PH window for this type of mix?
I’m also about to transplant. I normally just fill a pot, sprinkle Dynomyco, drop plant, fill in and water. Is this correct?

Promix users - High runoff PPM out of the bag?For those who use promix, I'm wondering if you've noticed high outflow PPM from fresh promix? I'm using promix HPCC.
My inflow was 300
My outflow was nearly 2000
I calibrated my bluelab pen to ensure accuracy.
All numbers are on the PPM500 scale.6y ago

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :cRunoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.6y ago

Favorite Soil - Similar to Happy Frog Potting SoilFavorite soil? Right now I am using Happy Frog potting soil in 5 gal fabric pots. I ran out of soil and need more for the last 2 of my 5 plants. Does anyone suggest a specific soil they prefer similar to happy frog? Best feeding schedule and method - top-dress or through water?Setup. Substrates
