Ph question
Newbie87started grow question 3y ago
When you buy spring water, how can the company say it's a certain pH if temperature affects this ?
I'm struggling to understand how temperature affects water so much.
Does the heat make ph rise or fall ?

Inversely related. So, temp goes up, pH goes down. increased H+ activity, therefore more hydronium formed on average in any 1 snapshot of time.

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Compost tea pHGazillion recipes on line. But my question is about pH. What should the pH be? Is it advised to try and raise or lower it with G.H. up/ down or try silica or lime. Not finding recipes that cover pH adjustment or concerns. I worry about liquids. I've got a bottle of silca blast.Feeding. Other
