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 ❤️

I use organic apple cider vinegar to lower the PH of my irrigation water. Seems to be working fine 🌞

K deficiency?in the last pictures you can see what to me look like an early deficiency of K. Since she is in the first stages of flowering I would say that's the case, reading the literature online i noticed a lot of similarities, what do you think?Week 12

Nutrient Help possibly neededFor my first grow I have kept things fairly simple. I had issues with my soil PH which stopped nutrient uptake but seems to have now resolved that for the most part. Are there any other nutes that are recommended to help bud production or am I ok with what I have now? ThanksWeek 8

Magnesium - Nutrient problemDo I have Magnesium deficits or any other problem? I started to notice during the last week and it is progressing quickly.
The last weeks, pH of drain water was low (between 5,5 and 5,8) but I could increase it until 6.1.
Has anyone the same problem?
Thanks!

Growth looks like it's stopped, is it time to flush?2 of my plants look like they've stopped growing now and the calcium deficiency looks worse and worse.. should I just flush then with water for a couple of week and be done with them?
The late bloomer looks like it's got ages still, definitely not what I'd hoped for being autos

Calcium, lock out?Hello, it looks like calcium, P, or K issues. Maybe pH lock out. I flushed last week and followed with nutes. Likely last nutes this week followed by a week or two of flushing before harvest. Please look at leaves and let me know what I should do as I end off this plant.

What affect does a higher PH level have?Somehow I have been reading my ph meter backwards and have ran 2 Blue Dream Fem at a 7.5 ph level the entire grow cycle. The plants are doing well and look great in week 11. How will this higher ph level affect the end product? Will it affect the taste, smell, or potency? ThanksFeeding. Deficiencies
