Ph of the soil, I checked with this 2 ph meter but I dont know the credibility, if that work.. I see that is around 8.0 but I use water at 6.0ph and soil light mix biobizz, bio grow ,calmag , bio heaven. Are biology shouldn't change the ph.. how is possible? Advise?

Those are pretty unreliable theyll give you a round about idea of where youre at not accurately enough to confidently make adjustments, if you have a ph meter for water take a small soil sample and mix with distilled water let sit for about half an hour then check the ph of the water, this will give you a fairly accurate reading. Otherwise always check the ph of your runoff when watering and that will kind of tell you where youre at as well. Good luck!

Hi there Sang, hey there, the "in-soil sensors" are really really inaccurate. I use the same ones as you do so i have seen this problem before. But actually "biology" absolutely does change your soil's pH. In fact many microbes help to stabilise your pH in the medium long term. Actually if you're worried about pH, maybe you can try to add some beneficial bacteria like "hydroguard" or bacilus subtilis. If you want to stabilise your pH using a chemical way, try to add humic acid . This will stabilise your pH a 6.5 (and also help the plant grow quite a lot!) Hope this helps ! 🚀
