ROLANDS_BESTstarted grow question 21d ago

Hat Jemand Erfahrung mit Advanced Nutrients Organic Dünger. Der PH Wert liegt bei 3,8 nach der Mischung. Das Leitungswasser hat einen PH Wert von 7,8. Der EC liegt bei 0,2 und nach der Mischung bei 800ppm Ich habe 4 ml Dünger auf 1 Leiter Wasser gegen. Wieso sinkt der PH Wert so

Not so much about being advanced nutrients as the form of nitrogen, organic ferts are always going to be high in ammonia. . Organic matter is "anything that is yet to be broken down." the initial breakdown and subsequent decomposition of organic matter releases hydrogen ions H+. The break down process of the nitrogen will be locked, once exposed to a source of oxygen and carbon(placed in soil), along with correct temperatures, will decay to nitrates (rate dependent on pH) and swing it back a reasonable pH. Don't focus so much on pH when delivering organic nutes, as long as there is adequate buffering capacity in the medium.

To bring the pH down that much with 4ml must be dangerously acidic. How condensed can it actually be? Theres more in play here.. Has the nutes been in direct light or got warm at any point. I wouldn't trust that personally. Need someone who's used it, I havnt unfortunately pal

I haven’t used advanced nutrients Organics but I do use other liquid organic products. They make the organic mixes acidic so that the product doesn’t go bad. I have fed my plants with the mixed organic fertilizer with a low pH and it didn’t seem to affect the plants. I have also raised the ph to be around 5.8. I’m not sure if the pH matters with organics like it does with chemicals. If you have a potting mix with good microbial life, the microbes should buffer the ph for you. With organic mixes, you are mostly feeding soil microbes who break down the product to make it available for the plants to use. Chemicals feed the plant directly. You can measure the ph of the run-off to see what the ph of the soil is. If it’s around 6 you’re fine. If it’s very low you will need to correct the nutrient mix before watering. I’m interested to see what others say about this. Good luck.
