Hello everyone.
I have been watering my 3 cayenne plants with my well water that has a ph of 7.0. I have been adjusting it to 6.5 before watering my plants.
One plant is fantastic, the other two are growing very dense, with light green foliage.
I picked up a soil ph meter and found that the ph of the soil in all pots was right near 7.0
Headed on down to the store and picked up some distilled water thinking my well water may be hard and bouncing back up in ph.
I checked the ph of the distilled water and it was 5.5. Do you guys who use distilled water use it "as is" or are you adjusting the ph up a bit first.
Thanks, and happy pepper growing!
