Darn Farmers made me a PH problem.

[barbear]

OK, So I live in an farming area (lots of chems going into the soil and leaching into my well water system. I got normal PH at 7.6. I water in the evening at 6.0 to 6.2 and when I check in the morning the PH is back up to 7.6. My girls are doing a yo-yo and not liking it. I have tried Earthjuice, vinegar, and food grade citric acid and they all just buffer for a few hours. Any suggestions as to how to even this situation out? P.S. I grow in Foxfarm. use H/Peroxide and Sledghammer and the nutes are right.

killing microbes right and left. I wonder why the h2o2?

I know I didn't even address your problem , dolomite lime in the soil I believe is how they do it, not being in soil I don't really know the details.

Yes..dolomite will try to keep the pH at 7.

Just sprinkle on soil and water in.. Acts as a buffer to keep ph stable as stated above.

And lose the H2O2 like said above....that stays in the hydroponic growroom.

Only the ones that are in trouble

H/peroxide is for root rot. Kills the bad microbes. I replace the good mics with FF Grow Big. Seems to work for me. I'll try the dolomite on a few girls and see what happenes. Thanks, for the input.

You shouldn't be having any root rot if you are not overwatering....
