Ph-ing soil

So, I got my Ph test kit and Ive neutralized the h2o to 6.0-6.5,

Is 6.0-6.5 good for soil??

and how in the hell do you ph you soil?? run-off water??

thanks in advance to anyone with an educated answer

You check the water before you feed, you can check the run off to find out the ph of the soil, or get a soil ph kit. If you want to change the ph of the soil use water with a higher or lower ph but not by too much as you want to do it steadily.

Liming Recommendations:
To make the soil more alkaline by 1ph apply 300 grams per square metre of Ground Limestone. To make your soil more acid by 1ph apply 70 grams per square metre of Sulphate of Ammonia.

That's when mixing your soil. it would be pretty harmful to the roots if you mixed that into your soil in the middle of a grow.

where can you find a PH tester? I checked out home depo and everyother store that has a garden center but still no luck.

Hydroponics store.

Check out the pet store. That's where i got mine from, i had to because the hydro store was closed that day. There is a pic in my gallery

Search around and find a good ph meter. While you wait though run to wally world and grab a test kit for pools.. They arent the most accurate way to get the ph but damn sure better than nothing.

you can get a soil ph meter from ebay
