Distiller water and mollasses

Plants grew fast and healthy when I gave them it. After several waterings I decided let me test the ph of the distilled with mollasses . My pen read in the 4's if it drops ph that much is it still in range for the microherd? I stopped using both distilled and mollasses plants slowed down a little bit but still healthy. Got real worried when I realized the ph was that low.

Don't sweat it, the micro herd will take care of it and were taking care of it.

Earth Juice nutes, even after bubbling, can be in the high 3's or low 4's and the micro herd will gobble them right up with no ill effects.

I know it's scary, but organics are different than chems and pH doesn't seem to matter as much with organic.

I quit using my pH meter cause I was freaking myself out. The plants just kept growing, green and beautiful.

I just de chlorinate tap water for either the EJ+molasses, or plain water+molasses.

Get back to making your micro herd happy with the molasses and don't sweat the pH.

You should check the ph of your run off. Things like Dolomitic lime, and worm castings, and oyster or crab shells in your soil will keep the ph of your soil around 6.8 to 7. depending how much of this you have in your soil.
So check the run off this will tell if the soil is doing its job which it sounds like it is.
An just for fun when your mixing your water and molasses, add some apple cider vinigor, 1 teaspoon per gallon. Makes a great catalyst...
