I definitely wouldn't recommend it.. a cheap-but-decent PH meter costs maybe 40 bucks and is definitely worth the investment.
I'd rather get one early on and make sure the plant is healthy, than come back in a few weeks, posting about nutrient-deficiencies and how to solve that..
..same goes with EC by the way, so best get a dual-purpose PH/EC meter.
Yes, i come from the hydro side, where this is much more important, but i'd rather do it right, right away, than having to chase problems after problems, and then having to buy them anyways (and have a sick plant).

Cheap pH meters cost like 5$ on ebay/amazon and you can buy couple of those even.
If you really don't want to check pH then I suggest you read about beneficial bacteria and bioponic growing 'cos that will be your answer. Or maybe you could chelate all your nutrients 'cos what I've read chelated nutrients are available to the plant in any pH.

You can grow in soil without phing your water. If you have a good water source, Your plant will tell you quickly. Phing is a coco/hydro thing... Soil is naturally acidic so phing water to 6.5 and watering tends to lower the ph of the soil as the Buffers are not readily absorbed by the plant and will be left in the soil.

TDSI’m on week 6 today. Is this a good TDS reading or should it be higher/lower? I have the unit set to 500 ppm . I used 5 ml/gallon of tiger bloom, 2 ml/gallon of bud candy & big bud. I also added 1 tbsp of epsom salt to lower the ph in my soil.

Nutrient lockout? [first grow]My plant’s started showing signs of nutrient burn, so I have flushed them with just water, after 1 day they turned to worse condition than before.
Is it nutrient lockout? Or just deficient?
Appreciate every feedback!

Coco and Worm Castings - Does Total Dissolved Solids Matter?Does total disolved solids (TDS) matter when growing in coco, worm castings, and organic dry ammendments? Am I at risk of a build up of salts? I have seen 2700 ppm in my current grow, but are these simply not salts and therefore OK? Plants look good happy. TY3 years ago

Adding Bloom NutesI'm thinking about adding either Overdrive or Big Bud to the nutrient list so my question is two fold. I think I have probably 4-5 more weeks of flowering is it worth it to add more nutes now? I would also appreciate anyone's opinion on using these independently vs together.Week 7
