Ive heard that their is no need to ph water for seedlings because their are no nutrients present, straight water, well water actually, somewhat akin to RO, e.c. at 0.
The water ph is 6.1-6.5
Is this legit?

Well I didn't bother PHing my tapwater and now I have a poorly baby. I'm assuming it's ph as it's had no nutes. Don't risk it man

Do you know the ph of your tap water? And/or ec? my well water is already 6.0-6.5, think this is good enough? I usually would ßhoot for 5.8nnot too far off

your well water is 0 EC? that's kinda strange. mine is 0.2EC.
I'm not lying and I been testing my ec of my water. For 3 years now, always 0. My well water is pretty good, most of the people that live around here have their own wells. Ours is above average quality I've noticed then most people.
Check out this picture I just took just now.

Find the best water you can,

the cleaner the water(less Ppm's)

the easier it is for the water to penetrate the shell,

the quicker the germing rate,

the happier the grower ...easy

you may like me try adding a

natural surfactant like Aloe Vera juice

not saying you are lying. just find it hard to believe. have you calibrated your meter just to double check?

If you have good drinking water then I don't bother,in fact I ain't ph'ed in about 5 year.knowing the ec is far more important,but I do have a idea of the ph its around 5.8/6.0 I think was years ago any how.

you should quit growing and just sell that well water. that's some good shit!!!
I didn't even know it was that good. I thought the zero ec was quite the norm with well water, at least around here. I'm right on the border with Canada, in Maine.
I wonder what's up with that? Not sure what kind of well it is, spring, artisan or whatever. All I know is that we pump that shit out the ground via a well pump.
