Ph testing

I was just wondering if I had the correct ph for my water is it neccessary or common to test the ph of the soil also?

no its not, unless your plants start showing symptoms that something could be potentially wrong.

just make sure anything you are about to put in your soil is ph'd at what you desire for max results

I've been reading that anwhere from 6.2 to 6.7 is a good ph. Why is it that greenhouse seeds use such a low ph (5.5-5.9) to grow there plants?

If ya add a bit of garden lime to ya soil mix ya dont have to worry bout PH probs

6.2-6.7 is great for soil.

my ph is at 5.8 constantly, because i'm in hydro.
usually hydro does better with lower ph and soil does better with higher ph's

hydro (without soil) needs a lower ph 5.8 soil needs a higher ph so they prob growing without soil

Oh yeah, Thanks alot.
