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.

Add weight in flowering?Would a black strap molasses brewed tea help my buds add weight? I'm using only Fox Farm Trio and CalMag with reverse osmosis water, pH @6-6.5.

No growth in the last 7 days or so. Other growers experience more growth with the same plant.My plant isn't growing any more. It's looking the same for the last week or so.
The soil is fermented and should be good for 3 months and I mixed that with perlite.
I water the plant every two days with 0.5 - 0.75 L of water, because I don't want to overwater her

Advanced nutrients in soil runoffAdvanced nutrients in soil.
Hey, so I'm using advice nutrients line (sensi) in biobizz soil (light and all mix 50/50.) Anyway my runoff is always 5.8PH I'm guessing this is due to the PH perfect technology. My soil is buffered to 6.2PH and I always PH up to 6.3/6.4...

Liquid OxygenWould you all use this in your water when trying to give oxygen to the roots? I’m noticing some really dense, not drying up that quickly soil so it’s making me think that they can’t breath. I don’t know, just making sure every part of the plant is happy & healthy.
