Socalrippin-
If you want to grow your weed to it's full capability, then yes, pH your water.
Add your nutes first, then adjust your water. NEVER adjust water first then add your nutes. The nutes will change the waters pH level. I use Lenon Juice concentrate to adjust my pH down. ( my pH runs about 7.7 out of the well, i never need to adjust up) Be sure to use UNCHLORINATED water when watering your girls. I run my pH around 6.2-6.5 when watering.

Hope this helps
