I don’t ph my tap water with or without nutrients or recharge. I just give it to them. If your in a well it’s fine to not ph your tap water but city water should be left uncovered for 24hrs to burn off chlorine before giving to the plants.
I tried not to but then I did to find tap was 8.28 PH or so and it would make sense when looking at a few charts that it is deficient due to that when it should be ph’d between 6-7.
How long do ph buffers in soil last? It had a lot washed out of it from watering excluding my flush, with just top dressing monthly. Some times I would water too much at a time. Do PH buffers cover the whole pot with top dressing fresh soil?
The vape off chlorine thing I keep reading between growers saying you need to or don’t need to. More importantly I read tap vs Ro or dehuey water killing microbes rather or not you vape off the chlorine in the tap is what I worry about.
It does say recharge will up the PH a little so the tap water would be higher than 8.28.
