How do you measure soil pH ?
Skjunkstarted grow question 3y ago
I have an electronic pH meter that I use on water or feed water just before watering. This seems accurate. But how do you manage to know the pH of your soil. I also have an 3in1 ground tester (Humidity, enlightenment an pH). pH is always at 8 with this method. Is it accurate ?

water until you have a little runoff and collect that water, let it settle and take your reading

Hey Growmie,
I hate to be the one to tell ya but no it's not accurate, especially if it's always at 8. To check the ph of the soil you'll just need to check the ph of the runoff this will tell you the ph of your soil. Hopefully, this was helpful, and remember ... "Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time".

Doesn't sound very accurate. As most soils PH is around 5.9-6ph. 8 would be way to high for soil. I really thinking you are getting a false reading pal.

So if im using a 5 gal grow bucket, How long can I leave it in veg.? I assume the roots would eventually take up all the soil and at some point it would be retroactive.If I left in veg long enough that the roots take over all sub. than switch to flower, would it not flower fully?Other. Other

First Hydroponics Experience - Is it ready to harvest?Hi fellow growers!
45 days into flowering, It's a bag seed, no idea what strain it is, had a sample, seems to be dominant sativa. It's uplifting, it doesn't couch lock you.
Can it be really ready considering it's only 45 days into flow? The sample was OK!

Hopefully I get back lots of "Don't worry! it will be fine" replies!There is a brown resin coming from where the cotyledon leaves are/were.
Is this something I should be worried about?
It's no. 2, so she is the last one I should be worried about 🤨
