I have been growing in soil for years and never once have I needed to PH anything. One of the benefits of growing in soil is you don't really have to bother with that. We have been growing veg for years and years and never once had to PH anything. In coco or hydro I see the point, but not in soil.
Not at the moment, haven't looked into it.
that's awesome, what is the ph of your soil?
By no means am I saying that the ph doesn't matter to plants, but who ph's the water for plants growing on a prairie? I guess I should've stated living organic soil. Dead soil that you're just using for somewhere for roots to grow, then you'll need to ph.
yeah
Rhetorical question?
i don’t know what that means, you said something like your plants do well in your soil, I asked the ph of your soil. Mine is 6.3 and water with 7.0. It seems to be working very well.
I see what you're saying. If your soil is inert, and you're feeding synthetic nutes, then yes ph your input water.
I'm organic, tap comes out 7, that’s why I made it 6.3 thinking tap is going to make it rise a bit to 6.5, which is from my research near optimum for soil to grow weed
any buffer I know of has a finite life span, so still, if having issues that seems rootzone related, ph should be the first thing to make sure in range, for any growing medium
Nope, never tested it. I test my water quite often as I have a hot tub, my water is 6.5 - 6.7.
That mix looks damn dry and pot kinda small. It might be the culprit since you provide nutrients… all purpose dry salt is just fine but might lacking on magnesium, not sure about the second one and how it affects nutrient balance in your medium. How do they respond on watering? Do you observe some leaf movement up or down when water?
I have never seen those numbers… actually I have seen those numbers on the bag like 6,2 or whatever untill Bluelab said no way dude. They were all 5,5 and less…
