Ph too Alcaline! Help to naturally bring it down.

OneDropOfTHCstarted grow question 6y ago

Guys my soil PH is at between 7.5-7.8, how do i bring it down? The water is at 7.1 and 7.5. Can i use vinegar to fix this? Should i water abundantly like flushing, with vinegar laced water? With what ph? 6.0? 5.0? Im measuring with liquid phenol red so range might be off a bit.

You can use vinegar or lemon juice to bring your water down to ph6, and watering as normal should bring the soil ph down slowly. Next time check the soil before hand, there are ways to effectively reduce soil ph beforehand 👍🌱

You could use distilled water It has a natural pH value of 5.8 And with nutrients, you should be able to get to about 6.1-6.3 Happy growing ❤️

Yellowing Too Fast Or Natural?I'm roughly 2-3 weeks into flower. Over the last week, I've noticed more yellow leaves than normal. Majority are bigger, older fan leaves but some are moving up the plants. New growths are a nice green and buds look healthy. Am I under feeding or overreacting?

Not sure why but she is showing either magnesium, calcium, or potassium deficiency. Do you agree? My PH is 6.3 this water, and was 6 the last sprinkle I gave her.

Leafs losing Color, die off.I could really use some help recognizing if and which deficiencies the Super Skunk has. It's currently growing in an organic soil that's been pre-fertilized and should be enough to complete the cycle. The temperatures are around 23c (73,4F) day and 19c (66F) night.

Need help identifying the deficiency here I just started seeing some kind of deficiency on the lower leaves of my plant that's still pretty young. Can someone please help identify? Just tested the PH and it's at 6.4. I'm not seeing any spots on new leaves. Do I ride this out? Do a flush? Appreciate any advice!

PH I messed up & forgot to PH balance my water before using it. It was 9.4 before I mixed in molasses & formulex. I put 1 gallon in each pot. I realized right after I did that, that I forgot. I tried to fix it by adding a 1/2 gal. To each of just plain 6.1 ph water. What now tho ??
