So I have a few plants going outdoors in a greenhouse..5 gallon pots of ocean forest with perlite only..
I switched from ro water to tap water when transitioning thm outdoors..
So far have fed twice with compost tea also and once with fish shit. And eventually will use dr.earth to reamend .. Also I have 2 carbon filters hooked up to my hose.
Today I watered some plants with plain tap water ..
My tap water is at 8.4 ph going in/out the faucet ..
And run off was at 7.2..
Do I need to fix this before I run into issues ?
Can i use an organic ph up or down to ph my water before ..ex.baking soda,vinegar,lemon,earthjuice ..etc.
Or do I use dolomite lime over the soil and water in?
Or both? ( do I have to use both methods of ph adjusting?)
All im planning to do is feed compost tea or reamend with dr.earth every 2-3 weeks;veg or flower)
If it needs reamending I'll go ahead and do tht if not ill use a compost tea every 2-3 weeks.
