I am new to growing and I am slowly learning about how important Ph levels are to the success of all plants. I have measured the Ph of my soil Coco and its measures from 6.5 to 7. I have also tested my water with no nutes and thats measures 7. I tested my Nutes alone and they are at 3 (base).
I have herd of measureing the ph level of the drainoff water. What is the benifit of this and how do I use the info to make my plants live a happier life?
So when I water my plants and I measure the Ph value of the drainoff around what number do I want to see it at with nutrients and without? the same 6.5 to 7?
And then what sort of things do I add to help maintain this stedy value of 6.5 to 7? Ph up or Ph down from the store?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
