PH 9.5
giggistarted grow question 3 years ago
I just tested soil's ph and it's 9.5!! maybe this is why she doesn't grow! now the question is: How can I lower PH value almost instantly? Should I add some PH corrector to the soil or do I have to change soil? pls let me know, thanks!

ok but changing the soil with soome at 6.2-6.5 would help to "unlock" her growth?

There is no instantly with soil, you should use coco for that! ;)
You need to add dolomitic lime or gypsum to your soil and ph your water

Hi friend, I always have High soil pH issue.You cannot lower it instantly.It takes alot of time.I overcome by adjusting my water pH around 6.0~6.5 whenever I water.My soil pH down from 8.4 to 7.7 in one month.Steady at 7.1 before harvest.But I didn’t have any problems from I start using water pH 6.0~6.5.Happy growing... ✌️

Mold on soilI 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?

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Adjusting Soil pHBiobizz Lightmix is the only soil I could see 6.5 that's why I use it but this time I measure it's 7 my question how come does it happen even though the water it's been getting was no more than 5.8 all the time?
I know my organic ph thing adjusts it only for couple of hours.
