Hello again,

I am germinating my 2nd batch of seeds soon, I have learned since my first batch that my water supply is very alkaline (8.0-8.5) so I have made some ph adjust water (6.5) using vinegar...

Would I be safe using this to germinate seeds with?

Cheers

How did you do that to you water's PH? My soil is 7+ and my water is at 8. Don't know how to bring them down since none of the stores around here carry anything for that. Or, if they do, I'm asking the wrong questions.

I would say buy some RO water and feed seedlings with that until they are big enough and established that the chlorine wont affect the growth. Im currently having to baby some jack herer seedlings that are pretty stressed but still want to grow.

That's how I lower my ph. It didn't seem to have any negative affects when I germinated my seeds...

The plants I watered it with are doing well, so I think im going to go ahead and use it.
