Lol. Thanks mac. That's because im a hydro grower and we live and die by ph (actually it's the plant that lives....never mind) and it seems to be the one thing that some soil growers tend to simply skip or not notice.......until there is an issue.

If you think about it.....all QUALITY soils have plenty of the correct nutes in them so the chance that the plant really isn't getting a certain nute or mineral (because the soil doesn't have it) is much lower than the the ph going off course, which is pretty common imo. Deficiencies in proper quality soil or hydro really don't happen very much for that reason......if a plant's not "getting" something it's usually a ph related issue and thats why pouring more and more crap into your pot or reseivoir usually makes things worse.....(read: burn.)
