Soil - 6.5 (6.2-6.8) Coco / DWC - 5.9 (5.7-6.1) Due to variances in measurements and components if you shoot for a mid-range PH in chosen grow media it will vary around that point and be well within range. Dats the theory at any rate. It really is that simple

there's a huge amount of people worry about P.H. it's not that bigga deal the range on PH is huge readings give between 4 and 9 before damage occurs when you read about some peoples run offs it will really make you wonder most peoples problems are elsewhere and not in P.H. A good way to get messed up is multiple nutrients WTF its just not needed i use a single part self PH ing nute follow the instructions on the bottle comes out around 7.0 don't PH any further and never have a problem.

Hi @LockDownGrow To grow in soil the best is 6.0, if in coconut it is 5.8. but in the soil if it is between 6.0-6.5 there are no major problems the important thing is that there are no large variations in PH during the life of the plant. good luck mate 👍

Hello.. Because ur in soil or coco and not an active hydroponics system u ideally want 6.0-6-5..u can go lower in hydro for sum reason.. I think its to do wit the assimilation of nutrients and lack of medium so harder to get build ups etc.. 👍
