Low Ph While Cycling

[XeroTolerance]

Hello everybody. As most of you are very aware of I am doing a fishless cycle on my 10 gallon tank. Today I got the results ( don't bother looking in my log yet they aren't there) and I had a very low pH, 6.6 or so. I think I need to do a water change to bring it up. Is that correct? If I do how much water should I take out of it?

Thanks for reading.

Whats your tap water reading?

Some use bicarb of soda whilst doing a fishless cycle to keep the ph up to stop the cycle stalling,i can't remember what ratio to use though...

The pH of my tap water is 7.6. I also don't have access to backing soda. Any other things you think I can do? I don't know if water changes are for this situation.
