Newbs getting the hang of things

Tillbert_1899started grow question 5 years ago
Our soil PH has been staying around 7.5, I've been lowering the water to get it around 6.5-7. Keep it in a 5 gal bucket. Should I continue doing that or adjust techniques? Using fan and exhaust to control air temp, should I be doing more? Any advice more than welcome!

Hi @Tillbert_1899 these ground-based PH readers I think are not very reliable, at least with me, I already used one. analog and then a digital and both were always on 7-7.5 even with all the water set at 6 PH. I did several tests with them on the solutions to set the PH and continued at 7-7.5 .I stopped using. I use a pen to read the water, setting all the watering to PH 6 will leave your substrate at 6. good luck 👍

You can also check the pH of the water that drains the pot

Put a dom over your plant and spray the plants with water
