Hawaiian Snow Grow Log #001
Ok quick update/question. We did some pH testing today but since budget is low lately we went with one of those liquid test kits. You know the ones you mix the water in a tube with a liquid and gets a certain colour... so accuracy is out of the question but still we have a general idea. Water pH according to the water company in my area is at 7.4pH. Kit shows something around 8 so I guess that was right. Water run-off from the pot indicate a pH of around 6. So that means that the soil pH atm is still around 6 that should be good? Or I have to compare this with the pH of the water going in and somehow come up with the soil pH?
I did get a pH- solution though to adjust my water and found out that more or less 1ml/gallon brings it down to approximately 6. Should I just add that to my water every time to play safe? Or at least safer than watering with a pH of ~7.5-8.0+ ?
Next thing on my shopping list is a digital pH meter for sure... I just wish there was something that I could test directly in soil... I feel like I have to over-water em every time I want to get a pH measurement and I hate that... especially with my humidity problem...
Peace,
:hippy:
