Outdoor soil, nutrients feeding ect ..

so got a friend in cali with acres to plant doing greenhouse and outdoor ... the ph of the soil is a certain level and the ph of my water/solution is another how do I balance it out ?

You need to ammend the soil to balance the ph as close to 6.5 as possible. Same thing with your water. Your local garden center will carry products for this such as lime and ph up/ph down.

Dolomite lime half cup mixed in or top feed

Do it 2 times a few days apart water and let sit in sun if possible add mykos

Ok so ... my soil has to be 6.5 and so does my water/nutrients ? So say my water/nutrients was 5.5 it not like an addition were it's 5.5 +6.5= 12.0ph ?

Ok so I got fish fertilizer (liquid),Vitamin B1, FoxFarm Grow Big, And BioRoot ... I don't know the ph to my soil yet but will keep y'all posted ... what I wanna know is A) am I missing anything ? B) what should my ph for my water/nutrients (fish fert,fxFrm,BiRoot, B1 mix) be?


When I mix 3 tsp of B1 ,2 tsp of BioRoot ,1tsp of foxfarmGrowBig, and 1tsp of FishFert it get a ph of 2.0 let's say my soil ph is 5.0 will my ph of the soil add with the ph of the nutrients to say a 7.0 or do I need to get my nutes to a 6.5-7.0 range and also my soil to a 6.5-7.0 range

What Daddy used to tell me in a situation like this was to, "Think less." And in this case you should, "shovel more." Are there horse or cow farms in the area? Bring in a few truck loads of manure composts. Build your soil up with some other good composts too. Mushroom mulch is a cheap one, but it is not organic.

When you put plants in, water with some funky ass teas. {I like coffee ground compost tea myself, but look in the organic section to learn everything you ever wanted to know about teas} Soon your soil will have a life of it's own, and won't give a flip about the PH of the water.

Good luck to you guys.

... ok got my soil down using mag sulfate it's at 6.0- 7.0 now I have hydroponic nutrients FF BIG GROW, vitamin B1, Liquid fish fertilizer and bio-root... now the water alone is. 6.9 7.0 range after I add a cap of each it goes down to 2.0 now do i need to forget bout the liquid nutrients and just water them with the fresh water (7.0) or do I need to buy phUp to get my solution from 2.0 to 6.0-7.0 Range ? Also would the nutrients affect my soils ph level ?
