I got this water testing kit from General Hydrophonics and it says to put 2 drops of that stuff to the water, comes with a small vial, im sure it's familier.
anyway the water is Cyan, its bloody Cyan is it possible that my sink water is 8.5 PH or even more ? god damn.

I also have PH down drops, should I use them on clean water first, and afterwards do a water test again ? until I see yellow water ? Or can I just add PH down drops right now in the vial, What im asking is can I keep adding nutes to the water and use it to water my plants, after doing a PH test on it. :blsmoke: Thats the question. Does the PH test ruins it or something. :bigjoint: u know ? thanks dudes.

Side note the pH is great for drinking water. You want an 8.1 it fux up bad things inside the body.

One of the most important things that you should be considering when using tap water for feeding your plants, beside pH, is EC or ppm levels of your water. The best way is that you invest in a combo (EC/pH) meter. Tap waters can have a huge difference in EC and chemical compositions, and of course you don't want to burn your plants. :wink:

What you're growing in determines where your ph needs to be.
You PH after adding whatever it is you're adding. As far nutrients are concerned they'll lower the PH of your water by themselves, it's likely you'll need to raise it after mixing everything together.

I can't remember where I read the medical article from early 1900's on the cancer part, seemed sketchy then but looked hopeful.

Alkaline water supposedly kills bacteria in the stomach that cause acid reflux, more hydrating, help with uti etc.

I can't say much about it, never focused on water and the body.

Thanks for the info.

Then there's the other half who say the Alkaline in the water shuts down your pinal gland, which prohibits you from.. doing all sorts of crazy shit, mind over matter stuff.
