For your low pH symptoms thread, try adding a bottle of fuming nitric acid to the soil and see how well the limestone buffers. It will strip away the carbonates and cause them to offgas as CO2. The calcium carbonate will become calcium nitrate, and will be very leach-able.
For the experiment in this thread, you really should have used a scale to measure potassium hydroxide flakes in grams to feed, rather than feeding "high pH water". pH of water is bullshit. Like plaguedog said, it has no buffering capacity.
But because you scatterbrains already made this thread 50 pages long, there's no way my post will be read by new readers.
See the thing is, this is how I grow, look at my pics.... does it look like it works?
Just because this is "unconventional growing" does not mean it dose not work. I have growing like this for years, k so #1you dont like it, #2 you havent tryed it, #3 you never will #4 you can prove me wrong here look at my pics, my plants seem to disagree with you, and as always they love me.
Im going to keep growing just like this forever, you cant stop me so why are you trying.
And all this..... this happens, thats gona happen, its gona kill your plants, its gona make that do this and this do that.... i just have to laugh at that, look at the results for your self....
MY PICS!!! if all you guys were right, my plants would be a hott pile of steamy shit right, according to you guys, it doesnt make any difference what you dump in the soil. but look at the 30+ pics of 100% vigorous, lush, fast growing, deep green leaves. Have you heard the saying "the proof is in the pudding? Well the proof is in the pics"
Well just like witch trials of boston Mass. they were trying "unconventional medicine, science" they got ridiculed, stoned to death and killed for what they belive worked, same case here. I showed something so unstudied, so new, so unheard of I must be wrong.
As ive said before, i will continue to experiment, run side by side grows and post the results. I can show you the same exact plants i dumped tons of ph up and tons of ph down on. they are growing right in the same room right next to the rest of the plants and they are all healthy, simple, did it kill them, hell no, did it slow them down for 6 days yea it did. so did watering with un adjusted water, i proved that it harmed my plants, thats the ball kicker here
It harmed my plants, screwed them up, why is that really so had to beilive. Oh and blaming me to why no one read your thread, sorry make a better thread next time. im not here to bitch and bicker. im not here to make friends, shit half of the people telling me im soo wrong have never tryed it and I dont know what else to say except try it before you knock my thread.
You make a thread, you think im going to come run my mouth when you have pics showing your results and when i have never tryed what your saying to do? Thats the dumest fukn thing iv ever heard.
Im really done wasting my time here, try it , if it doesnt work dont do it again. really simple thought here guys!!!
pH 100% stable. The pH comes from non-usable acids. This means the plant can not use the citric acid, it stays suspended and feeds a cycle, the cycle in turn releases oxidative properties which feed off the elemental sulfur and releases a usable acid, sulfuric, naturally.. It is a beautiful and dynamic process of living microbes suspended in a pH of 6.0 in 27 gallon res. The water is RO and has no shitty alkaline buffers and it never changes. I have zero pH drift.
