Plain water from seed do I pH?

[rumplestiltskin]

Hey,

When starting out a new seedling up until I start giving nutes I never PH the water. I Just get it out the tap and put it in,

Is this wrong or should I start changing the PH?

Cheers!

no need to... the ONLY reason we adjust pH is so that we can get into the proper range for synthetic nutes to break free of their salt bonds and become mobile and available to the plant. If you are not using chelated nutes, there is no reason to adjust pH... it won't hurt anything to do so, but why bother?

Thank you, how do I know is my nutes are chelated? I use Biobizz grow and bloom.

Like @Emilya said heck I use salt based nutrients and only run plain tap through my medium to flush salts and keep Ph in the proper range pretty simple for me being my tap is perfect for growing cannabis it has good calcium and salts ppm's are good and so is the Ph. Which are all related.

if it doesnt say OMRI on the label pretty much... most everything but organic feeds are chelated in some way so they can put it in a bottle all mixed together and sell it to you.

Most foods we eat also contain chelated additives.
