There's gotta be something wrong with that test...lol...the low pH means you have acidic content in the water but if it's as low as 3... well, that doesn't sound right. Between 6.5 and 7.0 is about equal...higher than that is alkaline and lower than that is acidic. Most plants like it a bit acidic as opposed to alkaline, but not quite that low... =) ...just my 2 cents. :smokin:

yea i gta chek it agen 2moro afta work i fink i red it rng.. If it iz 2 alkalie wts da best option? I gt a moisture metre and a ph in 1 test.. i swear it woz mear the alkalie.. Dam i wana go n chek em..

Sorry Char...don't mean to hijack your thread! =)

Here's a good link that explains acidic/alkaline levels. It pertains more to human consumption but it's the same for plants:

What is Acid/Alkaline Balance?

Here's another GREAT article on soil pH that really explains everything:

Acid Soil, How to test and adjust the pH of the soil in your garden

....hope that helps!! There's even so tips there on how to raise or lower pH properly. Marijuana tends to like more 'acidic' soil. =)

3 is actually acidic lol:thumbsup: knew id learn summet in those shitty science lectures:jointsmile:

if it is 3 den it is probably v bad 4 dem, but u mustve red it rng cuz uvawise u wudda noticed da plant playing up by now, it wudda had big problems...:jointsmile:

[xxMrGreenThumbx]

thnx 4 the thread mate.. Yea sry char.. Wt appens to the plant if acid a problem? I no it wont take nutes in and a toxic salt build up occurs..

You should buy some pertile and sprinkle it on the top soil in the pot. Its the stuff that looks like little white balls, they make the soil more alkaline. And to remove acid build up you need to flush your plant, so get it in the bath and shower the bottom of it for a min or two to make sure its all clean. Btw, do the flush then the pertile thing:rastasmoke:
