I'm feeding mine at 7 in biobizz and coco at 5.8 not sure if it's right
By definition the pH of pure water is 7.000
Store bought distilled might not be pure, and could have a different pH.
But if it's far from 7, then it's distilled in name only.
so you saying distilled should be 7ph basically ?if its not its not actually distilled ?
7 really i was going to aim for 6-6.5 maximum

The only reason DI water is anything but neutral is the variance in processing or re-absorbtion of environmental impurities or minerals. True DI will have no minerals or impurities a meter needs to give a ph reading. As an above poster mentioned, if DI isn't close to neutral, it ain't true DI.
That being said, I'm a biobizz light mix user and only use DI for 2-3 weeks with no adjustment.. I've used several different brands of DI but never noted any deviance from batch to batch that ever caused a problem. AAMOF, DI water is my controlled source when ph is suspect.

Odear shes doing well at ph 7 I will pop it down To 6.5 this is her at 28 days
Use PH up to get in the range that BioBizz recommends. I would recommend getting a Boogie Blue water filter instead of buying the gallons of distilled. They make a small size that filters 10,000 gallons and another that filters 45,000. https://www.boogiebrew.net/water-filter/ Great filter and wont have the waste water that an RO system creates, RO systems can waste 2-4 gallons per gallon produced.
