water chemistry

my water ph out of the tap 6.1 an tds .52 water hardness around 60... oh i have a well .the hardness never changes the ph has been as low as ph 5.5 an my resistivity is 100 ..? will the hardness or resistivitybe a problem this is my first try at aeroponic here a few pic of my system

I like to keep my plants ph in a range of 6, Your tap water is less tds than mine and i do fine. just make sure to account for that number when calculating your nutrients tds. Germinate with plain water, wait until you see the real leaves then start a light mixture of roughly 440 ppm.

oh and some nutrients will buffer the water for you, general hydroponics flora series is buffered, my water's PH stays in the early 6's
