My ph has been solidly consistent between 6.5 and 6.7
This is interesting - I’ve been looking for a chart like this. I wonder if I’ve gone too far with the cal and magnesium
Well I don’t know what to tell ya. The best I can figure is too many nutes and I’m dialing them back a bit now. She did have one or two days that breached 80 degrees in the tent but that was about a month ago and she didn’t like that, but I didn’t witness a long-standing disruption as a result of that…
Are you sure your pH is 6.5-6.7? Molasses can lower soil pH. How are you checking it? And how much CalMag have you been adding?
I check my ph before every watering with the standard yellow meter (cheap, but not total garbage). I always need to bring it down from 8+ with some organic granulated citric acid. Maybe it's time I calibrated the meter?
What standard yellow meter? How are you testing the soil pH?

Even though you're putting in 6.5 pH water doesn't meant the soil pH is at 6.5. When I see twisting leaves my first thought is pH, but it could be other things too. If you've been using a bunch of pH down I'd bet the soil pH is lower than you think. But more info would help everyone.
I know what molasses does - that’s exactly why I’m using it. I appreciate the advice, though, and will ph after mixing it in the water.
Just so I understand correctly, are you saying that over time the ph down in the water may present a residual effect on the soil and, thus, lower the soil ph?
