Soil Ph Problem

Sense8
Sense8started grow question 4 years ago
Hi friends. I water my plant with 6.5 ph of water. The pH value of the water flowing from the bottom of the pot in the last irrigation was around 7.5. I washed with 20 liters of water with 6 ph. But nothing has changed. Auto northern lights and 49th day..

Hi Sence8, I use to grow in soil and there is no way of knowing what's in it, as it can vary so much, even bag to bag from same supplier. Going more expensive does not necessarily solve the problem. and some soils are more expensive that a growing medium. Yes you can follow the link above and yes I've tried playing around as stated, however its still so difficult to get the neuts correct. Never lone how to get the nitrogen out of the soil as its usually far richer in nitrogen than a grow medium. I was not convinced that a medium was the way to go but you can now control everything and plants respond accordingly. I also found with Autos that the PH has to be 6.5 and not between 6 and 6.2 as for periods. Happy growing

Hi, You are using soil, Soil ph ranges between 6-8 + there are many factors that can change the ph. Read this article and hopefully this will work for you https://hgic.clemson.edu/factsheet/changing-the-ph-of-your-soil/. Btw, ive been using soil too and every time i check the soil’s is high. So i have been watering the plants with ph water. (6-6.5 ph) the plants have been growing great !! :).

I normally water my plant with 1.5 liters of water. When Ph was high, I washed it with 20 liters of water. The water I washed was at 6 ph. It was not effective.
