Raising soil pH
Well, it's done and I learned a few things. They were getting rootbound. Good call guys! They were also pretty dry toward the bottom of the pots. The vermiculite must have trapped moisture at the surface, making me think the plants were not drinking much.
It took 6 gallons of plain water (pH 7) to get a runoff in the upper six range. I went ahead and gave them some bloom nutes and root stimulator. I haven't added nutes in nearly two weeks, they must have been hungry too.
Within 30 minutes color started returning to the first plant I did. I think they are happy. Only time will tell how much the plants were shocked. I'll post more pics here in a few days. Keep your fingers crossed!dillhole Reviewed by dillhole on . Raising soil pH Here's the info, there's more pics in my grow log in my sig.
