Distilled water PH 7.0

Very true calibration solution is pretty cheap.
Ok I will get some whenever I can lol. I'm not too worried about it because nothing terrible has happened thus far, but I still would like to know because I'm sure it effects yield.

Well I went to the store today, and since its Sunday the banks aren't open... So I bought a gallon of distilled water I put a bit in a cup, put my meter in the water and adjusted until 7.0. Took it out , shook it off and re put it on to make sure it was correct. Made a gallon of nute water and the ph is 6.8. Is that good or bad? I'm not too sure on ph levels

distilled water isn't always 7ph anyway you need to calibrate to two points for it to be accurate 4.0 and 7.0
