Is my ph too low or high

[Vonkins]

I don't run soil anymore and when I did, I wasn't a proponent of checking my soil pH, only my water inputs.

I read up on Earth Juice and what I find odd is that in one sentence they tell you not to worry about your pH (don't worry about this highly acidic feed you're about to pour into your plants 'every time' you water, "Earth Juice will self-adjust as it breaks down in the medium"....self regulate itself as it breaks down over time...huh?), BUT if you are worried, here's a 7 step process you can follow to adjust the pH yourself.

At this point run...just run! Either it has to be adjusted or it doesn't.

And if the pH does adjust as it 'breaks down' in your medium, how long does the 'breaking down' process take and if it takes, let's just say 5 days to break down or 'adjust', and you're feeding every 3 or 4 days, what's happening to the ever stacking feeds you'll end up giving it...in other words the 'breaking down' process wouldn't have to time to occur from feed to feed before you dumped more acidic water into your medium.

I hate to beat a dead horse...pH.

That's why I believe the feeding schedule is feed, water, water, feed.

Plants are looking better. Havent been letting the soil dry out enough in between waterings. Stressed them a little along with the mites. I still see no signs of mites so we will see. I got some mighty wash and dr bonners soap

I'm almost positive it's too high but I want other opinions. I am using earth juice and I found my mistake. I was bubbling for 48 hrs the adding ph up to get it to the proper ph. What I didnt know about EJ is it will rise to the proper ph on own without any ph'ing. Since I was raising the ph to 6 then it was naturally rising even more I noticed problems after several weeks. I assumed I had too high ph. So I started feeding earth juice without bubbling and ph'ing and plants started looking great. Ej is 3.8 when initially mixed and then I applied. All plants improved fast but one and I'm still noticing small issues like this white dust looking shit. By the way I do have a minor spidermite problem. Check out the pics and tell me what u think.

The pictures you posted of your plants above are your "signs of mites". Don't matter if you can see them and not, what do you think's making those marks? You need to start treating your plants.
