HCG the issue is the more food the lower the ph and with that said im having to add upper in copious amounts. Going to try the neutral water only for a bit see if soil ph corrects.
Soil sludge ph was in mid 5's since adding neutral water around 7 the soil run off h has gone up to 6.2 ... So we...
Nice chart. Yes I'm in organic soil, I know the pH needs to be higher just no luck getting it there :/ . Typically the pH of the water here prior to adding ferts and pH down is around 8 or a bit higher. I have an ro system I added years ago which usually produces a pH of right where I want to be...
Mike thanks for advice, I'm having way to difficult of a time even doing a low dose feeding while trying to keep pH up ( that is the mix prior to feeding) I'll try your recommendation of flushing wih neutral water for a bit see what happens.
Btw I have no clue what reddit it is lol. Been doing...
No run off today was actually 6.2 the mix prior to feeding was 4.9 been adding upper but it seems it takes more to up the pH then down it ( and obviously I have not feed them the 4.9 mix as that would be stupid, I'm upping I as we speak but slow process) To be honest where I'm at has very hard...
I don't think its too much ferts, because now it's showing in my veg room which is on a half dose of the regular feed, plus I've been using a low dose of organics in flower, if anything I'd think a deficiency. :/
I have a blue lab meter, calibrated and all I will be checking pH run off later...
ok guys so here's the skinny.. Haven't been on in forever because I haven't had any issues until now :/ I was dealing with what I thought to be a ph issue and had to leave town, ladies were left in the care of a knowledgeable friend, but condition has since worsen
The logistics:
- Soil pH was...

So here it is, The Great Expansion. :bigjoint:The first few photos are of some Purple I pulled about 3 weeks ago. I was originally in an 8x7 area for both flower and veg that area has been opened up to the full 8x7 for flowering now and have tossed up a couple walls and have a nice 5x3 table...
