Soil ph adjustment

[Bakenbike22]

Trying to get my soil ph down from 7 to 6. My water ph with nutrients is 5. If I ph down my water to 4 will that drop the soil ph to around 6

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Why do you think your soil ph is 7???

Run off?
Slurry test?


Run off means nothing, so if that's what yer going by disregard any results you get

 

[Bakenbike22]

Soil ph probe says the soil ph is 7-6.9 the guy at the grow op shop said it should be 6

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Is it those two prong $10, if so they are poop to say the least

Guy at the grow shop is talking hydro, 6.5 - 7 is just fine for soil and you're already there. There's nothing wrong with it.

In my very honest opinion, that plant needs / needed a bigger pot.

The guy at the shop knew I was as talking soil one of my plants has copper couloringa on the leaves

Well he doesn't know what he's talking about. Sorry.

All the best.

Soil ph is 6.5-7

But I gurantee that probe is garbage, unless u spent $150 on it


What soil is it, pics of the issues too.

Any nutes yer using

That means nothing

Is it in flower?
Tap water?
How much Calmag?

Why just bloom nutes, is that normal with Remo, not familiar with it

 

[Bakenbike22]

It is a month into flower using tap water, the products. I'm using are remo bloom Remo micro and cal mag all 8 ml per gallon tomorrow I'm scheduled to up the dose to 10 ml based off the feeding chart

 

[BobThe420Builder]

Is that half strength, or what strength nutes

You have a feed schedule you can post

 

[Bakenbike22]

I'll post pics of products being used and the feed chart when I get home

Your first pic shows a very healthy plant. Your second picture shows focus on one leaf, some in the background look healthy also. I wouldn't listen to any advice from the "guy at the grow shop", a good pH range for soil is 6-7 with 6.5 being optimal. Worry and constant changes to the plant from over reacting will ruin that plant worse than any minor deficiency it has.

I was wondering why the thought of a PH issue came about... I'd leave it as is.. and feed at 6.5

Yea that guy does have a knack for growing bad ideas. It's that big.. and looks pretty healthy. I say don't change. Find your deficiency and treat. once new growth is growing in fine, remove the ugly ducklings and keep an eye out for corrections in the deficiency.

way too much calmag if you asked me. Even with distilled water I only put 5ml max per gallon. I'd ditch the tap.

Tap is actually really good in Promix

Mine is crap, like 500-650ppm, and works really good

Now in DWC...it's garbage...lol
