What is the normal water ph you need for a healthy plant ?

I have a clone and the PH of my filtered water has been tested at 7.2, I'm wondering what the optimum level would be.

it is something i never worry about out doors as you are relying on the rain to do most of the watering and you cant ph that...

I think it should be about 6.5

You want the ph of your soil to be slightly acidic (6.3-6. so test that and then water accordingly. If your soil is 6.5 or below then 7ish water is great.
