Yes this is also true with ph. It can cause your plant to appear to have deficiencies when its just ph. Get ph pen and chart. It will explain what ph levels are best for each cycle of plant but more over you can also somewhat treat deficiencies with it. Keep it around 6.3-6.5 and test your runoff to make sure its same ph in and out. You can then treat with humic acid or dolomite lime to condition soil so this doesn't happen. Its all about time indoors. Good luck i hope this helps

I feel like you definitely want to make this as difficult as possible.

I've used promix the last 5 years. I never worried about pH except for the water etc. The last few years I've had less than optimal growth. I got curious and bought a pH soil probe for my bluelab meter. The 2 bales I am using now are ph'ing at 4.8. Probably why I'm having trouble. I've added dolomite like and now have 6 buckets watered and setting to allow the lime to balance a bit. I'll see if this round solves the problem. Most are at ~6.5 now. A few days and they should be ready. ymmv
