Today I measured the water ph before putting any nutrients and it turns out it was 7-7.5 ph but then i measured the water that came out of the bottom of my pot after watering (i put some biobizz nutrients) and it was 6.5ph should I use a ph down? I have 1 so im not buying. TY

Nutes tend to bring down your pH. There are a few exceptions like silica, but the big 3 pretty much always bring your pH down (unless your water is already acidic as in the case of acid rain collection). You can be pretty confident that your pH was good after you added nutes and if your runoff is at 6.5, then don't change a thing. Keep growing!

Soil is a natural ph buffer, i suggest u only bio ph- unless they are full of chemical salts and u are better with straight tap water

You ph test after adding nutrients. I use GHE and my ph is always bang on. So if you didn't check ph after adding the nutrients the feeding could have been in the correct range.

Michor Riza Hi, growmates! I've got a small trouble: forgot to put 'Michor Riza' under the siblings roots. Any tips how to fix this? Mb I can put MR spores in water? Or putting it in when I'll do transplantation (from 8l. to 15) will do the job?
