Ph question
Newbie87started grow question 2y ago
When you buy spring water, how can the company say it's a certain pH if temperature affects this ?
I'm struggling to understand how temperature affects water so much.
Does the heat make ph rise or fall ?

Inversely related. So, temp goes up, pH goes down. increased H+ activity, therefore more hydronium formed on average in any 1 snapshot of time.

Should I switch to well water?I use tap water. For our normal flower/vegetable garden we use well water. I measured the EC/PPM of both.
Tap: 0.5 mS/cm (=320 ppm), we live in an area with soft tapwater according to Water Agency (11°F-13°F max)
Well: 0.32 (=205 ppm) -> how do I interpret this for well water?Feeding. Other

Foliar spray in DWCCan you use a foliar spray made from organics (fulvic and humid acid, potash, sea kelp, wetting agent) in a DWC? Or is using any organic material more trouble than it's worth? Is week 3 too early for foliar spraying? Hoping to green my thumb a bit. Thanks
