Baking Soda for Acidic Soil

Misanthropestarted grow question 3 years ago

How much baking soda should I add to my water to correct acidic soil? Ph meter reads between 5 and 6. I cant afford prepared solutions (but am not opposed to chemicals) so any other DIY remedies would be welcome too

Look into dolomitic lime. It's full of calcium and magnesium. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can add too much sodium to your soil.

You would be better off just with an organic pH controller like biobizz which you could probably get a 250ml bottle for about Mixing powders and potions can mess with your substrate, sometimes the easy way out is the best way out.

Yellow leaves on nearing end auto.So we are nearing the end. Now there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there on yellowing of leaves at this time. Some say it’s fine some say it could be hungry or lock. The bud still seem to be growing so not to sure what to do. I stopped feeding about 5 days ago.
