Hello everyone i was wondering i just planted some seeds then checked ph(probably not smart to do after hehe) and its about 7 or 7.5 i believe im using coco with perlite. Should i use some ph down to adjust it or is it way to early in the seeds life to introduce that? Thanks in advance!!!

If you "just planted them," take them out and drop them in some water and put them in a dark place. Then get your coco mix properly ph'd and add some calmag at 1/4 strength if it's new coco. How did you get your coco to 7/7.5? It's should be 5.8 ideally.

5.8 most of the time. i occasionally bounce down to 5.5 and up to 6.2 just to avoid any possible ph related lockouts
Thanks for the responses everyone! I believe the coco went to 7.0 cause the water i used could be wrong i bought a real ph meter not the garbage from home depot just to re run a ph test will try when i gwt home.... as far as taking them out and replanting even if ots been two days now?
