How check the ph of soil with water distilled?
TheChronicHunteranswered grow question 4y ago
Soil pH can be measured with a traditional pH probe like you’re suggesting. Take 4 grams of soil and add 40ml of distilled water, shake for 5-10mins, let the suspension setting and measure the pH of the water.
You can also buy soil pH probes to measure directly, or measure the water coming out the bottom of the planter like others have suggested.

Bit you should use proper ph,ed water to water, then check the water that comes out of the planter.

After you water the first bit of water that runs out of the planter is what you check for ph and ec. Or you can get a dependable soil ph probe/meter. Cheers

Broke a branch with few pistils after 1.5 week since first pistilsI accidently broke a branch with a very tiny beginning bud. It has been alprox 1.5 week since first pistils. I taped the brench but jt is hanging now. Probably too late in the flower phase? Should i take it off and consider it a accidental lollipop ?

To my outdoor growing gurus.. How do I schedule a regular nute feed????doing an outdoor grow and dealing with a consistent rain schedule every couple of days. Can i supplement a feed and give more water (think that's a bad idea), or do I wait until the girls are thirsty again to give nutes? Possible too much rain stunting growth?

Growth Differences Between Same GeneticsHello growers, any ideas of why one lady has almost tripled in height during its stretching phase when compared to the other lady? At around week 6 Lady 1 just took flight and left Lady 2 behind. Both have been fed pretty similarly too.5y ago

Finalise my scheduleI’ve been told you need to have 2 days when you don’t give the plant anything but it’s not what I’m reading. Im sorry for wasting your time but I need to get this down as simply as possible. If I FEED the plant today with my run off, what do I give it tomorrow and the day after.
