i have been growing with soil in 5 gal. buckets and the pH has been 8.1 pH tap water that i adjusted to 6.8 pH ,and let it sit for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to dissipate.
it has been going in at 6.8 pH and it has been coming out at 6.2 pH.
Now i have 3 gal.lon buckets and I am worried becuase the pH is dropping from 8.1pH going in, to 5.8 coming out.
is it normal to have the large change in pH ? after going through the soil?
is there an optimal range for me to get?
I have been trying to find answers in the forums... but i am too slow on the computer to figure it out.
is there a good place for me to look for specifics on pH level?
I think the best advice has been to try to have the pH at 6.2 coming out .. when growing in soil.
is there an average drop in pH that is best?
