Soil Ph is Below 4 Help

Ok my plant is about a month old It looks great nice pretty green it has been growing great I just topped it about 3 days ago. I normally feed my baby water Ph'd at 6.5-6.0. This morning I feed my baby's but this was my first time testing the run off water. When I tested the water with the solution it came back red which means the Ph is 4 or below so real Acidic. How do I fix this???

re-pot into soil properly buffered with lime.

Ok will do I will repot with Fox Farm Ocean Forrest. But another question if my soil pH is so low why haven't it effected my plant yet?

Probably because soil buffers water ph to something close to soil's ph when left for a longer time, runoff just... well fuck it im high i have no idea XD

perhaps your tester is off.............

Lol I know it wasn't a good idea but it wasn't effecting it so I just left alone. But my 1 week old baby's are in small plastic cups of Miracle grow but I plan to transplant them into Fox farm ocean forest in about another 2 weeks

Will it hurt my one week old babies in the long run starting them in plastic cups of MG then transplanting into FFOF? The reason I was doing that is because I was told FFOF was to hot to start seeds in.

No it won't so long as it is a week or 2 but no more. The time release formula for MG is a much slower time release so the cumulative effects of nute burn take a while but usually worsen unless transplanted.

Ok thanks also when I transplant the babies should I knock the MG soil off the roots or transplant the whole cup soil into the FFOF pot.

buy some coco, it makes life a lot less stressful. it is lighter, cleaner, provides quicker growth and you know whats in it. my two cents.

also i tend not to worry if my plants look healthy i'm happy.

But with coco I will have to use nutes during veg stage. That's the whole reason I'm using FFOF so I can a avoid nutes until flowering.

ok so you claim the pH is off? is your plants allright though? thats the real question.
i have never tested pH or humidity or any of the sort. its less things to keep my head, less things to worry about. dont complicate things if you dont know what your doing.
not much help from my side maybe, but think about it

oh and stop using miracle grow. thats that silent killer

Yea you right that's why it's takin me until now to test it. I never found it important but my bro was like test it and when I did and seen how low it was I freaked out

im just sayin. it the plant isnt hurting, let it be.
they adapt very well

right because MG is designed to kill plants. good thinking retard. MG might not be the best to use, but it fucking works. i have 9 plants outside right now a week away from harvest that i used MG moisture control the entire time and man do they look tasty. just look for yourself...

Sweet grow next year I plan to grow outside(at least 8-10 plants). With growing outside is it similar to indoor grow?
