[pobamela]

Hello..mybe I've understand my problem. The ph of my soil is too hight. My soil is a premix of perlite,sand, thricoderm, and other things... I'm watering with a ph6.8max ditilled water... How can I make ph down of the soil? Simple ways...
Tnx

Flush the soil thoroughly with the PHed water.

try putting some vinegar in your water, it will bring the ph down

don't put too much, little by little and measure

6.5 to 7.0 is the ideal PH range... so you're in there.

5.3-6.2 no more no less

If you flush it with PHed water, the soil PH will go down.

For the flush I must add the nutes to the water or not?

 

[ddriver]

no need to flush IMO, no point of drowning the roots

just use water with lower PH and it will compensate for the high ph of the soil

as I said put some vinegar in your water - it will bring PH down, and when you water the soil mix it's ph will also go down

Lemon can do the same?

 

[hollysmoke]

i would go with ddriver and just use lower ph water

yes, drops of lemon juice will do the same... i strongly suggest adding it slowly and phing it every few drops to gauge where your ph is at before you water


(also, i think lemon juice drops are better than vinegar)

what about pH up/down? the cheap bottles from a fish/pet store are like $3-$4...
