Proper Watering Techniques - pH Concerns etc.

[jkgrow]

I have seen some say they use a PUR filter on their sink. I would imagine a Brita pitcher/filter would help in the same way, right?

Should the water be treated for pH (or anything else) prior to watering or is pH something which is controlled in the plant/soil itself? Is the water treated with nutrients and pH normalized/optimized at the same time? What about during germination or when the seedling is young and nutrients are not added yet?

Always check ph and adjust as needed. Add any nutrients you will use before adjusting ph.

I assume it is OK to use tap water and preferable to use a filter like Brita/PUR before treating it for pH and with your nutrients, is that correct?
