Perfect ph level

Look at a chart of available nutes and you will see most elements are available around 6.0 you stray from that and you lose nutes simple as that!

They are still in the soil they just change to non water soluble compounds at different ranges and if you look at a ph chart for nutes most are water soluble between 5.8 and 6.0!!!!!!!!

depends what decade you are in as far as i can tell, the perfect ph was 6.5 20 years ago its been going down ever since, under 6 is popular now going down to 5.5
the back of my food, (vita link) says 5.5-6.5 .. i would say to the op, your guess is as good as any ones,
i cant tell you what the ph of my solution is as i gave up taking ph readings, i don't think it helps
to fuss over things that i have not noticed making any difference if its not helping its hindering so ill remove it from the process
i think the fact the food has ph buffers, trace elements chealted etc, it all take care of itself

peace :)

Try setting it at 5.5 and leave it drift up to 6.0 before adjusting it again, the plant can take up the full range of micro nutrients between those P.H. settings.
