Im using soil as my medium , would 7.5 PH be good enough for my ladies ? I understand that you need around 6.3-6.8 or so ... just wondering if 7.5 would hurt anything.
Thanks for the help

It won't hurt some things... but it will hurt your plants. The nutrients ride on the water. At 6.3-6.8 your plants can absorb the nutrients they need. Outside of that range, you starve your plant.Quote:

you have to check the ph level of the dirt and adjust the water so that after you water, your dirt is betwe 6.3 and 6.8
Thats what i was thinking , because ive been watering with 7.5 this whole grow (In week 5 of flower now) and they have been okay ... but for some reason i decided to test my PH and it was indeed 7.5 but the runoff its around 6.5.Quote:
