this is my third attempt at growing and i think that i am off to a decent start. i finally got all the required equipment to grow. i am currently growing 6 plants ( 4 blue mystic an 2 auto-bang) under a 400 watt hps. they are about 3 weeks old and have been getting lite nutes for about a week and a half. i am using the fox farm grow big veg fert and it seems to be working well. i decided to LST all of the blue mystic in hopes of getting a better harvest. i am currently having a problem with my ph. i bout the best non- miracle grow soil that i could find but it is nothing special. just regular indoor potting soil w no chemical or ferts added (which i got from home depo) the soil is maintaining a ph of about 7.2- 7.9 which is alkaline. i bought some ph Up and down and i have been adding the ph down to the water ( i have been using jus plain tap water which is about 8 ph before i add the ph adjuster and nutes to the water) and it still has not brought the ph down to the appropriate range. how does a high alkaline soil affect the plant? my previous 2 attempts failed due to a very high acid content in my soil ( i was using miracle grow soil). what are some additional ways i can help to bring the ph down or is it going to be ok at its current range? the plants have been growing fast and no signs of stress or any nut def. any advice or tips would be appreciated as i am still learning and i really want to produce some bud this time around.
