How to raise ph in soil?

I checked the runoff ph, a week ago it was at 6.2 and 3 days ago when I last watered it was already 5.9 even though I watered with ph 6.7 (I always used to water with ph 6.5) but the 6.7 didn't help much. So I have to water today again she's dry, Or flush with high ph water?? Idk

Hi there soil ph should be 6 to 6.8 so your only just out of the range. Try input at 6.8 and that should raise you back up to 6 then continue feeds/water with that high a ph and it should bring it up. Before you water the plants make sure your ph adjusted water has been sitting for a while because sometimes if you check the ph just after adjusting you may get a figure that is false because the ph hasn't had time to stabilise. If you get what I mean. Stoned. Very stoned

Hi there, If your plant doesn't show anything abnormal.Don't bother with that low pH run off .Continue watering with pH 6.7 and make sure there is always run off from the bottom.Good luck and happy growing... ✌️

When pH start to drop in soil or gets lower than the level chosen it means that NaCl start to form up. You should use more water to get enough drain coming out from the bottom of the pot to rinse the extra salt. I would strongly suggest you to get an EC/TDS meter to control the EC level of the soil by checking the drain.
