What should I look for in well water test?

First off sorry if im in the wrong spot for this. I finished off my first grow and it went pretty decent. I have well water and wanted to get it tested but didnt know what i should be looking out for specifically.

I use well water too. My readings on just the well water before adding nutes and ph up is 6.13 pH 32 ppm. If you can get you a meter. I got both the ppms/ec and ph meter as a set together on amazon for about $20… vivosun is the brand I think.

Link to the meters I have.

I got the combo for $13 and some change. It comes with solutions for you to calibrate the meter and all. If you can afford a better one, go for it. I hear a lot of good things about it and quite a few people on here use it as well. The brand is Apera, I?,

Apera 20, Apera 60EZ both work well, calibrate. and are dependable.

32ppm is almost pure water and would have no meaningful pH reading. So no meaningful pH reading is possible until you add nutrients.
