pH for Compost Tea/Rainwater?
peterkleber7answered grow question 2 years ago
Der Punkt mit den PH-Wert ist einfach dort zwischen 5,5-6,5 ist das Optimum wo die Pflanze die meisten Nährstoffe aufnehmen kann. Du kannst deine organische Anbaumethoden in Einklang bringen in dem du ein Wasser und Kompost Tee misst und ggf. den Ph-Wert mit Ph +/- jeweils anpasst. Falls du deinen Ph-Wert senken möchest reicht auch Zitronensäure einer frischen Zitrone.

I don’t grow organic but have quite a pool of growers that do that I talk with regularly
Yes pH is crucial.
But I believe when you make a compost tea for feeds you should not adjust it after it has been made up. Just feed as is. Everything in the rhizosphere will work together to do what it needs to with it.

I will simplify it :
If i would ever wrote a book about growing weed, first 5 pages would contain only two letters on each - PH ;))))))))
Its most important thing no doubts.

Ph wert ist sehr wichtig. Auch wenn du Regenwasser verwendest steigt der PH wert mit der Zeit. Und wenn man Dünger oder Komponenten verwendet welche den PH wert selber regeln, sollte man drauf achten was der Ausgangswert ist dementsprechend kann man sich das richtige aussuchen (oft ist ein unterschied bei Produkten für weichem Wasser PH unter 8.4 und hartes Wasser Ph über 8.5)
Hoffe dass ich dir weiter helfen konnte.
Gutes gelingen bei deinem Grow

Exit EC in peat and perliteVariety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower.
When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom.
So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?Setup. Substrates

I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?
