Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.
Dormandostarted grow question 4 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.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

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

Contest curiosityFor those who have experience in contests:
How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
