ph adjustment

So I’ve been trying to test my soil ph and it’s driving me insane. I have a cheap soil probe that doesn’t really work. I stab it into the soil, it flickers like 7.4 or 7.8, then flips back to 7.0. I even just pulled some soil out, added distilled water, and tried it. Didn’t even read.. just...

Hey guys, I have a couple of questions regarding my first grow. It’s an Amnesia Auto in its 3rd week of life. I’m using a 13L pot with super soil and 200W of LED lights on a 21/3 schedule. I already made a bunch of research and would like to get some more insight from you. Today I noticed...

I'm curious if you guys have ever used the Aerogarden Liquid Plant Food as nutrients and if so, do you also add pH down? I've used an aerogarden for years to grow herbs and lettuce and it kicked ass, so I tried growing a couple plants and they're going great! I just unhooked the aerogarden light...

Hey all!! Happy to be a part of the forum!! I am a novice grower looking for some general suggestions because I am somewhat overwhelmed with all the information I’ve seen on the net, so I’m hoping someone here can help me out a little bit. So here goes: I am doing my first time grow, all...

hello I made a post yesterday about a pest problem I had here. However those were a recent development (as far as i know) and I have noticed the leaves are a bit of a light green on the new sprouting leaves. Under my led light the color difference is noticeable, under a flash light, it can be as...

I mixed a compressed bale of promix bx with a bag of wiggle worm castings and I am wondering what ph I should be adjusting my feeds/watering to. Should I be ph’ing to 5.5-6.2 like as if this were hydroponics( as my medium is barely anything except promix) or should it be what I have...

What's up my grow brothers! Been coming along two opinions wherever I check and ask..... Should I lower my water pH even though I am growing all organic soil and organic powder feed ?? My tap waters pH is between 7.5-7.7 Would appreciate your input Much love

Hi there, so far I’ve been using ordinary water (my water supply is from a borehole, so no nasty chemicals), but I decided to adjust the PH, as my water is slightly acidic. What’s the best organic option to bring the PH up or down? RW :peace:

Recently purchased an R.O unit due to hard water issues(stunted growth,scale on fabric pots). Ive been running a TLO/Notill setup for couple years now and never ran into PH issues with normal tap water. After running my R.O unit my water now has PH around 9 with a TDS around 40ppm. My question...
