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.

How do I lower pH using pH Down?
My soil pH levels are high - just over 7. My tap water is also high - over 7. I have a bottle of pH Down but I've never used it. Do I just add a bit to the tap water and water them? Or should I wait till the next time I'm adding nutrients? How much should I add? Thanks!

Ph result can anyone read this for me?
Can anyone read my ph result? I can not figure out which it is closest to. I purchased this kit as i’m cut to a low budget and trying to figure out if my soil is ok. It’s from drain to waste after just feeding my plant.

Light and Feed
I am extremely new to growing, so still on a very steep learning curve... :) I tried a little LST which seemed to go great... My question is 2 fold... 1... Does it look like she is reaching for light with my lamp 18 inches above canopy? 2... should i feed nutes every watering? TY

Purpling, contorting, drying, yellowing.
Leaves are going all nuts, i think it was from a bad feeding, i've been too busy, no time for notes, they started going purple after feeding so i used plain water for the next 3 waterings with +water, tops started showing calcium lack, anyone can confirm? Give bloom+cal right?thx

low pH problems
I discovered that I had irrigated with water at pH 3.5 for at least 5 days. yesterday I used water at pH 5.7 and today I think it will increase to 6, but I noticed that burns are already starting to appear so should I continue like this and hope for the best or do a root wash?

Substrate
Planted sprouted autoflower bean in Fox Ocean mixed with indoor organic soil and added DR Earth herb and veg fertilizer to the mix. Is this considered living soil and enough nutrients to grow to harvest without additional fertilizing? If I need to fertilize, how much do I use?

Coco grow: the EC of my runoff is consistently 0.2 mS/cm lower as what goes in (1.1 in at this time, runoff is at 0.9). Also, PH of runoff is at 5.8, while 6,5 goes in. Is this a problem? What causes this? Its been 8 days since germination and they look healthy.

PH and temp
Does the temperature of the feed alter the ph. I made some feed a week ago ph 5.9 but had to turn radiator off in the shed because snow kept melting so feed is now 10c in stead of previous 18c but I checked ph the other day and it had gone up to 9.3 can I put feed in tent 4 heat?

Ph soluzione nutriente aumenta da solo?
Ho sbagliato qualcosa nel misurare il ph e anche quantità nutrienti(era 0.05 ho messo 0.5)sembra si siano riprese ma ho rallentato tutto😔 domanda:è normale che il ph della soluzione preparata aumenti da solo? Era 6.4 oggi 7.2🤨

Ppm
Say if I get a high reading of 800ppm from runoff. And my goal is to be around 650ppm. Would I just flush and bring it down to goal? Or am I just to feed less next? Still trying to get this ppm stuff, cheers.

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?
