Thanks a bunch! What I did was I got some lime, and I added a VERY tiny amount to the water. Like a whole lot less than is recommended on the bag. I checked the runoff, and it was a perfect 6.8. However, I only treated one small and weak plant, and I am going to observe it before I rush and ruin all my plants at once ha. Again, thanks a bunch.

I think I'll go smoke one and stop looking at this damn ph meter and fiddling around. :rastasmoke:
GratefulDawg Reviewed by GratefulDawg on . PH question Alright I was finally able to obtain a digital ph meter, and as I suspected, my ph is quite low and I believe it to be the root of my other problems. This is my first grow, and I am using Fox Farm's Happy Frog soil (they were out of ocean blend or whatever). I ph'd my water to be at 6.5, then I flushed out my plants pretty good. I then tested the runoff and it came out 5.5. Does that mean my soil is 5.5, or is this the average of my soil and the water making my soil ph 4.5? How can I raise Rating: 5
