How important is ph of water going in soil?

is 7.2 too high? Should ph down be used? there is no lime in the soil its just miracle grow soil.

ph is highly important. there is a chart somewhere that tells what nutrients absorb at what ph level, and at 6.2 all nutrients are availiable, anything off from that and certain nutrients can't be "reached" or processed.

imagine 6.2 is a plate of food at the perfect reach to grab everything on it, and for every .1 ph level that is off, the plate moves in front or behind you by a foot. now you cant reach everything on the plate, only some of the stuff. that is how PH works. at 6.2 the plant can use all nutrients given to it.

Ph is of the utmost importance! What cannabox is sayin, is that at certain ph levels, some or ALL of the needed nutrients can be 'locked out' meaning that the levels of the ph is either too high or too low(usuallythis is the case) for the plant to effectively use the nutrients available to it. Doesn't matter if u feed it everday(DON'T WATEREVERYDAY!), when lockout happens the plant really can't do anything with it to progress.

k thanks. i wasnt sure if 7.2 was close enough to 7 not to matter. Ive been reading some other posts and it looks like it does matter alot

get it between 6 and 6.5 and ur good.

add dolomite lime one cup per cubic ft of soil or sprinkle a table spoon on top of soil and water in it will balance out your ph and prevent deficentcies.

and one more thing don't use that soil it has ferts in it that time release to fast.

but if it works for you go for it
