Had a hunch my ph meter was faulty, just got a new one and it turns out my soil run off water is a hefty 7.6! No wonder she looks hungry! Any advice on a topdress recipie or something to fix this buffering alkaline situation without stressing this lady any more than she already?

Hard to advise on a secret recipe. too much calcium? Only just getting into living/homemade soils etc. Never bothered to ph the runoff as soil phs water anyway and nutes ph water, but that won't apply. What have you got in your soil for calcium and is your water quality hard or soft?

Mr_Cannab1sir you are absolutely right! I am new at living soil and stuck pretty closely to the revs tlo super soil mix besides all the extra crab meal, bone meal, oyster shell that I didn't think to balance with some more acidifying amends thanks for bringing this to my attention!

She looks healthy as fuck mate! I wouldn't worry too much, all I could advise is make sure your waterings are at ph6 from now on, do you check the ec/ppm of the run off too ?
