nice i wasnt gonna get one and see if i could wing it ive made it one month already, im using foxfarm ocean fresh soil, idk they seem to like itif your using some good quality soil mix i wouldn't worry about it, i think it just over complacates things. most problems come from over fertilizing or over watering. it's very rare to have a ph problem without these existing problems. just my 2 cents.
(i never noticed that there is no key for the cents symbol until now.)
those cheap kits ,meters etc give u a ballpark figure . Buy a good quality meter and be spot on every time(important)does anyone have a good soil ph kit they trust??
i disagree, the most common prob growing in a pot- soil or hydro is ph variation, its the fert/salt build up that causes it to lower or raise.if your using some good quality soil mix i wouldn't worry about it, i think it just over complacates things. most problems come from over fertilizing or over watering. it's very rare to have a ph problem without these existing problems. just my 2 cents.

I agree BUDS!!!! This chart is awesome and I got it from another friend on RIU. Very important to have exact pH readings!!! My grow had a lockout cause I was using a piece of shit pH meter. Spend the money and I hope this helps. +REP *BUDS!!!!!i disagree, the most common prob growing in a pot- soil or hydro is ph variation, its the fert/salt build up that causes it to lower or raise.
If u ignore ph issues your plant will no longer be able to take up vital nutrients resulting in a dead plant.
fert/salt build up won't happen in the 3 to 4 months it takes to get a plant to maturity unless it's getting over fertilized. i never knew growing weed was so complicated until i joined a grow forum.i disagree, the most common prob growing in a pot- soil or hydro is ph variation, its the fert/salt build up that causes it to lower or raise.

The chart is broken down into pH levels for Soil and Hydro. Each nutrient/micro nute shows where they become available for your plant. So if you want to maximize your plants uptake you should get a good accurate pH meter.can somone explain that chart to me quick?
The chart just shows you were you need to be for best nute uptake with your pH level.ok thanks and what about the different colors? i guess im saying i dont get how to use the chart
