Hi, I am trying to deal with a problem that maybe someone here can help me with...I have a soil pH meter (not an expensive one) that gives me readings from my three Srawberry Haze plants in the too acidic neighborhood of 5,0 to 5,8. My plants are at 36 days of flowering and I´m using bio bizz organic nutrients.
The thing thats got me stumped is that after flushing with de-chlorinated tap water with a pH around 7,7, I used my Hannah Gro check pH and TDS meter and it gives me a reading of 7,8 - 7,9, which, according to what I´ve read here, means the soil pH is closer to 8,0 - 8,1 which is in the too alkaline neighboorhood.
Im worried because the tests give me such different results and both in pH ranges which will most definitely produce lock outs either way. What do I do? Trust the run-off and take measures too acidify the soil or should I trust the soil probe and try to raise the pH?
I am already seeing signs that could be indicating lockouts of nitrogen or possibly magnesium deficiency but I don´t know which direction to push the pH to free up the feeding, I am worried about my girls...snifff...
