Still trying to correct the soil ph. It has been between 6.9-7.5 the last three weeks. Yesterday it was 7.1 before feeding.
I stopped adding silica to feeding and mixed in some peat moss and the soil reading was 6.6 hopefully it stays in the right range from now on. I also have been adding microbe life to the feedings. Any advice is appreciated. I know that it is late to be growing outdoor in my area. I put the plant in my little greenhouse to keep her warmer.
@Njaak, Hi,
Yes I finally got both PH down and PH pen but unfortunately my THC Auto Bomb plant was past correction time for an outdoor plant. I managed to get a couple buds that I am drying so we will see how that goes😃. But from now on I am using that PH pen every time!!!
@TessaMaria, do you have any pH down? Mix your normal nutrient solution (water + nutrients) then add tiny drops of pH down and use a pH pen (get one from Amazon) to bring your pH to the appropriate range for your stage of growth. You can find pH charts for different grow types (soil, hybrid, hydro, coco, etc.) on Greenhouse Seeds nutrient websites. I keep a chart on my grow diaries as well in the pictures for Week 1.
