Big problem!! Help needed!!

Okay guys, i may have made the first big slip up of my grow. its been 4 weeks an I have just given the first feed of nutes
to each of my plants, 3 in total. I was so happy to be at this stage that I completely forgot to check the PH of the mixture.
I live in London and have been using tap water which has been left out for weeks, and mixed with bio buzz grow and bloom.
I really dont know what kind of PH that would have been but whats done is done, is this likely to have a really negative impact
on the plants? any advice would be great. thanks in advance

Are your plants in soil? If so, I wouldn't worry about it.

agreed its not gonna hurt but you may wish to invest in a ph test kit and some ph up and down, it will be worth it in the long run.

You can prolly get the whole deal for under $30 US that is

yeah its in Bio Bizz All Mix soil, and i've got a ph kit with up&down i just totally forgot to use it lol first grow so still a beginner, guess this is something to remember for the next one. thanks for the replies

all you can do is sit and wait, what's done is done, if you start to see negative impact indications, get back on here, search what's going on, and take the necessary steps. My PH varies sometimes, but I am monitoring it about twice a day and adjust it accordingly. My plants are sucking up about 3 gallons a day, so usually isn't a problem since I am constantly filling the resevoir, lol. I use tap water in the US, I don't evaporate the chlorine, filter it, or anything, just adjust the PH to where it needs to be, and do the damn thing. I know some people freak out about not filtering water, but I have huge healthy plants and have not ever had a slight problem.

Are you growing in soil? I would assume so if you have not given any feeding until week 4.....If so then no need to worry! Soil is a very good buffer and unless your water is way out of whack then you should be fine. What kid of soil or medium are you using? I have never used the products so not sure how they typically effect the PH of the water. If you are just starting feeding and using 1/4 or half strength then i would imagine not to much of a swing. Do you have the feeding schedule? Be careful with over feeding at first as well. Maybe a feed water water schedule to start. How are your ladies looking. PH is more of a concern with hydro less with soil. A lot of guys will never check PH when in soil and use tap water as well.

It's one watering, chill! Not some thing that warrants the title of the thread. I don't mean to bash you, but your titles always seem to indicate some emergency that isn't one. "I just broke my main kola and don't know what to do" - now that's an emergency.

Of couse you get answers, so who am I to say

And honestly, I am not trying to flame. You can see I have offered my help to you when I can and will continue to. Just saying it hits me a bit dramatic and selfish, and I am sure that's not intended.

Im using soil and i have never once checked ph. I dont even own a ph checker. Never had any problems with it. Most soil ph is 5.8-7.0

thank you for the replies, your guidance has helped alot. and regarding the titles, it doesnt really matter tbh, i wouldnt lose sleep over it lol just trying to get an active thread going so I can grab all the advice i can as a beginner grower. I appreciate your input nonetheless.

Hello neighbour...I grow using ur soil an nutes, if this is ur only prob u r doin well m8, London tap is high at over 7.6 last x I measured it an full o shite so letting it stand or filering it is good idea cos its also full of Cl an VOCs. I don't bother wiv meter but use horticultural pH drops which I find axccurate fer soil an I always adjust my water to 6.5 then add the biobizz shiz. many scoff at adjusting yer water fer soil, but I am after optimal growing conditions an grow 10oz+ dry per plant so fuk em
