Are you asking if you ph the water that wets the SS when you inoculate it or ph it when you actually water the plant in SS? When you mix up SS, it's very acidic so it probably wouldn't matter what your water ph is because the lime in the SS will level the ph of the soil out over the 6-8 weeks. After it's 'cooked' and you're using it to grow, 6-7 ph would be best. I don't ph my water anymore because it comes out of the well between 6-7 depending on how much rain I get. Hope this helps :)

I was mostly talking about the PH of waterings/teas added to supersoil during the growing. Would ph'ing with regular ph down be fine with supersoil? I've herd of some using white vinegar or lemon juice?

You want to concentrate on getting the soil ph set...There's little you can do with watering to change it...

Yup........absolutely no point PHing your water in supersoil or organics, if you pour in water which is acidic it will react with the calcium/alkaline substances in your soil neutralising it.............and vice versa with alkaline water..................the important thing is the quality of the soil mix and 'IT's' PH, if that is out of balance you're screwed

I agree with @DonBrennon and one more thing you should consider is the quality of your water. City/tap water is usually the worst for organics because is contains chlorine/chloramine which kill microbes. If your on a well you might be ok if there are not a huge amount of dissolved solids in your water. RO is the best for me even though I usually can use my well water but it gets out of wack during the dry winter months. Water quality is just something you need to consider. Good Luck Dude!
