What is often make a problem in hydroponics cultivation, is the PH value of tap water.
Why is the PH value so important?
To plant could
absorb nutrients from the water it needs certain PH value.
What is the ideal PH value?
Science says that the best PH value stands between 5.5 and 6.5
How can we measure the PH value?
Easiest way is with PH test paper:
Test paper is dipped into the water and after a few seconds, we can see the result.
Here we can see that the PH value is approximately 7. That is a little bit high, and mostly urban city tap water is between 7 to 9 on average. It should be noted that the PH value should be measured after the addition of liquid fertilizer because PH percent can be raise or fall down .
How to treat the water when we see that PH is to high?
There are two ways: First we can use a few drops on PH down preparation into the water, not match because is to strong.
If you do not have PH down preparation, simply use lemon. Squeeze half a lemon, that it also can reduce the PH of water.
After the addition of liquid to reduce the PH, is measure again and see the result:

Even if we do not have a Test paper, we can feel free to squeeze half a lemon into tap water and fertilizer, we cann't make a mistake.
