should water be PH'd for soil?

Dont ph for soil . No need to whatsoever ph up and down will destroy your soil biology . Unless you hqve water that is like below 4 and over 9 .theres no need . If too high wich is the case 90% of the time use apple cider vinegar it acts as a root stimulator at the same time

Great tip. At certain times of the year my well has been know to be very high pH readings. Most of the year t s fine.

This does not apply to salt based nutes where there is minimal life in the soil.

Hmm well i wouldnt bother with soil biology in that case the salts will destroy it anywase . If its ph 10 bring it down to 6.5 then with apple cider vinegar and .

i did two grows before i bought my ph reader, nothing but pure problems my soil kept getting to acidic and was needing flushes all the time i then started ph to 6.5 and since then have had beauty grows and no yellowing or probs until close ot harvest where before i would get problems around 12/12 flip sometimes even in veg, so if you were to ask me i HIGHLY recommend doing so even in soil i use PROMIX HP i also use advanced nutrients maybe this is why i have problems with ph im not sure

Yeah ive never used chemical nutes in soil ever . It killing your soil biology that put everything back into balance .
Maybe once all those nutes are mixed the ph drops like a rock .... builds up in the soil and thats probably why youve run into problems .

I am about to start using organic living soil for the first time. My tap water is full of rust which has killed my plants in the past so I must filter it. After I filter I have 0.0 EC and a little over 8 on the PH. Would you take a chance and just water plain or drop the ph slightly with the apple cider? Thanks!

I think that's a no then
