Water PH ?

[BSki8950]

Alright so im using water from my house and i think it might be too high in the PH for my plant. Either that my plant is getting nute burn. i dunno. I was just wondering if boiling the water and letting it cool would take out some of the PH or would that not even work ???

Boiling... nope, not gonna help

Tap water is normally between 7-9ph... and 9 is a huge difference compared to 7.

Yeah, pet shops or grow shops will have them. I went to a Stien's Garden and all they had was an analog pH meter that was waaay off. I would stay away from analog ones. The digital ones are so much better.
