I am going to do dwc 5 gallon bucket. Not sure if I should use RO water or from tap and just let it sit a few days to de chlorinate? Do you ph the water before or after adding nutrients? What is the ideal ph range for hydro? What do I do as daily maintanence? Do I just add water as it evaporates and then re ph? Thanks.

Daily maintanence required -best to let water sit for 24 hr (de-natured) "PH" water before and after (some nutrients have high ph) (One can purchase PH perfect nutrients/ never test ph again !!!!! - the nutrients work !!!! . Your ph depends on your strain indica's or sativa's

Just measure after ypu add all nutes and adjust. Leave it to settle and check ph after a couple of hours just in case. Then use.

You dont want to PH the water while it has no nutes first? Then add nutrients and re PH? My tap water is PH 8.8 and PPM 0

No. Just ph after nutes

Your ppm is not 0
