Those are some pretty good rules of thumb Van.... And Miss Stanks, aka #ummmmmmm LOL
Sound advice. I can't weigh in on the soil stuff but the planning of the seed drops, the carbon filter and the try to understand you're nutes is all really good advice.
The scheduling of a bean drop perputual mode looks to me anyway to be hard. My last grow took longer than most grows i was watching and this one is going faster than before.

If your tap water is truly 9.2 you should contact your water provider, that is above the SMCL (secondary maximum contaminate level). Depending on what type of treatment they do, could be a simple chemical adjustment.

My well water is in high 8's. I use a r.o. system. I'd like to try flood and drain sometime, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea with my crappy water

We are hoping that when we find our dream plot of land, it will have access to top notch water. My Dads well is about 700 feet below the surface and his water comes out 6.8-6.9. We need some of that stuff in our life!!

Ph limits are set by the EPA and should be monitored. Your water company should send you a report of the water they supply to you. Usually on the back of your bill or could be located on their website.

Don't get a bill....we rent a duplex and water and utilities are covered by the landlord.

Alright, then your probably better off not drinking it like you said lol. If they dont monitor pH who knows if they sample for trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids. After Flint Michigan drinking water requirements have become pretty strict in my neck of the woods.

We've been buying our water since I noticed the water coming out of the faucets was sometimes brown. There have been times it looked dark as soda. It's disgusting.
That's nasty, and not the good kind either
