Soil ph changes over time. The best way to fix it in soil is to make sure you are getting 20 % runoff every time you water. You can also adjust feed ph to 6.8 to speed up the process slightly. Happy growing.

Co² tabs for water feedingDo you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots.
They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.Feeding. Other

PH and EC problemHi, I have a problem with my plants. I´ve checked the runoff and was 7.0 PH.
When I was fertilizing I gave them nutes with PH 6.1 EC 1.2 and runoff was EC 0.4 and PH 6.8. When plain water EC 0.4 PH6.0 and 5.8, runoff EC was 0.4 -0.8, PH 6.7-7.0.

what EC do you feed and how often?I've been giving 6.5 pH water once and the next time I add nutrients until I get an EC of 1mS/cm. This was ok before (runoff didn't show many nutrients on soil). Now I water 2.5L/day but the plant leaves nutrients in soil (runoff EC increases rapidly!) It's in week 4 of flower.5y ago

Yesterday I removed some leaves as it was way too bushy so considered introducing calmag as two of the early lower leaves have started to yellow.. is this a bad idea?Feeding. Other
