I am debating dissolving a Tums tablet (1,000 mg Ca) into half a gallon of tap water and using that to try and raise the Ph in my CP (cntrl pot) because the other day when I measured it with that new and unreliable meter I bitched about earlier, the Ph was only like 6.0 or 6.1 and I think it should be around 6.7-6.8

Is this a bad idea due to the sugar, slight bit of food coloring and flavoring that a Tums tablet would contain. They are safe on humans, and I am dissolving in half a gallon of water... ???

Baking soda contains salts and that is no good, encourages males. But so does too acidic soil, so I need to fix this quick, and I can't find Ph up anywhere but the internet, and no credit cards during this adventure for security.

So yea, the Tums?

Peace

CFL Bagseed, Take 2 The 2 month old plant is officially dead :( But with death, there is new beginning...... my seedlings have sprouted! 4 or 5 little sprouts popped up today... unfortunately I only have room in my set-up for 1 single 10 inch diameter pot. Perhaps I will try to transplant or kill the 2 or 3 weakest and then leave the 2 healthiest-looking plants growing together in the pot. The seedlings are in the 60% - 40% peat moss and perlite mix with two 40 watt CFL's and one 23 watt CFL, for a Rating: 5
