I have purchased most of my grow kit. Soo excited to get started. I am growing in living soil should I be PH testing the water before or does it not really matter, or should I be ordering one today.

It depends mate, what is the background pH of your water? (the water from the tap before adding anything)I have purchased most of my grow kit. Soo excited to get started.

You should be able to find out from your water suppliers website. In most cases for living soil grows, it is usually ok. Good soil will have buffers like dolomite lime, and microbes to battle pH that is too far off. But in extreme cases things can be a little to far off the right pH.@macky no idea, 😂😂😂

@jjtimberman I suggest you get a simple pH test kit from an aquarium store, one that uses a liquid reagent, not pH test strips. Although I agree with Macky about checking with your water company for tests, the plumbing in your house can affect your water quality, too, and pH can vary from season to season. I'd personally prefer to know what is coming out of my tap. As for changing the pH that you give to plants, it is best to know what the pH of your soil is. It is not absolutely necessary if you are not having problems, but knowing the soil pH can prevent problems as opposed to reacting to a problem that pops up later. Hope that helps, mate. Feel free to ask if you have other questions.
You should start a grow diary here on Percys, too -- it can be a big help.

@im_sparky thanks so much for the help, will get on it. Just waiting on delivery of all the grow equipment. Will start a dairy as soon as I pop the seeds. Lemon tree in tribute to the podcast.
