Nutrients are acidic, if there are no nutrients in the soil and the soil is dry, the PH is whatever the PH of the soil is. Add nutrients to your soil to lower the runoff PH. When you add nutrients, they sit in the soil and after the water dries out, they remain in the soil. The next watering, these nutrients resolve in the water and lower the runoff PH.

PH-Problems in Soil Before repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Mold on soil I used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?
