Organomananswered grow question 5y ago
Yes, this is a little low, your soil is slightly acidic at this reading. Try and aim for 6.5 - 6.8. But adjust this gradually over a few days, trying to change the ph too much in one go can really freak your plant out. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

Soil always wetHi, It's been 15 days since I watered my plants, and the soil stays moist in depth. My plants are doing well and are continuing to grow. Where can this worry come from? should i wait for it to dry? or to water but with a smaller quantity ? I gave her 7 litres ( raining water )
