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.

What water to flush with
I'm trying to decide what water to flush with. I have a wellpoint which I use water from. It has a ph of between 6.5 and 6.7 bit I've heard the ppm of that is too high. Should I use bottled water or tap water rather??

How to use PH DOWN to get a soil PH around 6.5.
I tested the PH of the run off water today and the result was 7.2, pretty above the number I want, 6.5. So i bought ph up down but i still have a doubt: which PH should water (with fertlizers and PH down) to water the plants be to get the soil PH to go down to 6.5?

Help me avoid over/underwatering my girls..
Almost done with 1st week, watering my girls 50-60ml each, once a day in 2L pots. It's 28C (80F), humidity around 65. I check the soil (1inch deep) but still feels a little wet even after one day.(despite little water and 80F) Should I still water them as they are still seedling?

Forgot to alter pH
Hi I forgot to alter the pH. I already have some issues (I think pH? Check picture). What’s worse, overwatering or too high pH? Do I need to flush ASAP or wait till next watering cycle? The pH of the water I used is 7,7 and I have organic potting soil so is it a big deal or not?
