Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.
Dormandostarted grow question 10 months ago
So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

1st things 1st.
Organic nutrients react differently in a soil set up. My alga grow is 4.5 when putting in.
My Bioenhancer from Green House Feeding puts the ph ai 9.5
My point is. Unless you're adding synthetic nutrients, (which you should try avoid, as the organic process doesn't follow PH rules. With most organic nutrients with soil. ph does not need adjusting.
Good

6.5 - 7.0 in soil is perfectly fine. Adding acidic water (5.0) to soil will not change the pH of the soil. To lower the pH of the soil, top dressing with agricultural sulfur will lower soil pH...........but if your soil is anywhere between 6.2 and 7.2, I really wouldn't worry or try and change anything.

That meter shows how fat is milk, but not ph of soil .
Dont try to correct soil. Have wet/dry cycles and load always right ph. For soil its 6.2-6.5 range. I found constant 6.3 works best.

6.5 is fine for soil. 6.8, too. even 7 probably won't cause issues with a good feeding regimen, but there's some benefit to slightly acidic on growth. "auto adjust" is a bit of a misnomer... the bacteria will mitigate some ph swings.. but tehy will also force a resulting equilibrium.. like what you see.. this is the "auto-adjusting" occuring.

Slowing down/canceling stretch?Are there any ways to do this in a Low-Stress type? Would a late ScrOG net help to keep the stretch small? LED -> Plant distance is currently (week 5) ~34cm (~20cm left befor she might suffer from lightburn). LED is not moveable. Plant itself is healthy.Week 4

Switching to flowering nutrients (autoflower)Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to when I should start switching these critical purple autoflowers to flowering nutes? As I understand it should be a few weeks after preflowers start? Hard to tell when vertical growth slows when doing LST. This is my first grow ever!

Should I Foliar Feed After 2nd Week Flower?I've been toying with the idea of a foliar feed during flower. I normally don't do any foliar feeds after the second week of flower, just to help prevent contamination or buildup of non-medicines in my final product. Any suggestions as to what i should feed my lil purple budling?Week 3

What exactly does flowering time mean?Hi guys, I have a super newbie question. When I read "70-75 days flowering" on weed labels, does it mean 70-75 days of total growth from planting seeds into the ground (+veg,blooming phases) up to harvest or is it just the blooming phase?

Compensating for Effect of Supplements on PPMI decided that my girls probably had a calcium deficiency from using distilled water. I added a cal/mag supplement and an enzyme supplement. Now my PPM is through the roof. Should I reduce nutrient levels so that I'm still in the desired PPM range?

High temps for sprouting seedlings on day oneMy seedlings sprouted into a dark space with 29°C temps and a humidity of 25%. They were covered, and it was only for a few hours on day one. Has the exposure to excess temps killed them, or is there a chance they will fully recover?
