Soil Ph level at 7-7.5 tested.I know that's high for soil. Using 3 gallon pots, Into 3rd week of grow and leaves turning yellow. Which is what told me to check PH.Anyhow added 2 tps. of Sulfur granuals (as per package directions) to each pot, mixing in to soil. Can anyone PLEASE tell me how long it will take to see results.

You can get the phDown online or at a hydro shop. But test your water to verify you'll need the phDown, first. If your water is acidic already, you might need phUp. Don't purchase what you don't need. :thumbsup:

rusty is right PH down is way better but when you cant wait or cant find it ( waiting for mine in da mail ) till then im using vinegar and it worked fine. i took a cap size full of vinegar and i had to dilute a couple times because the vinegar is so powerfull so make sure you pay attention to what level u have it on.

Thanks massbud, but I've already mixed in the sulfur granuals as I stated. Anyhow I have them in 3 gallon pots, so based on your experience with using diluted vinegar... what was you approx water to vinegar ratio that you called a small amount? Thanks again to all, this is no doubt going to help me now and in the future.

As a temporary solution, vinegar is fine. But from what I understand, ph will rise back up after a few hours. Not the optimal solution. I've been using GH's phDown (phosphoric acid) for years though. 1 teaspoon in a 5 gallon bucket brings 7.9 ph water down to 6.8ish. One gallon of the stuff lasts me a couple of years.

u didnt have to purchase the sulfur. i was @ one point going to do the same thing cause my PH was @ 8. if u dilute vinegar u can use that to lower ur PH ive used it my self. jst use your PH tester while ur using it.. using too much could harm the plant you gotta use the right amount and most of the time its a very small amount.

You're kidding right? I live in the UK and we have 3G and HSPDA most places (7.2 mbps at peak). Please tell me that Verizon isn't /still/ on CDMA (100kbps). Is their network steam-powered? hopefull m4v to mpeg can solve itNo! Verizon isn't allowing upgrades, so I'm stuck with my extremely crappy dumb phone, a Samsung Intensity. If they allowed early upgrades, both my husband and I would be getting iPhones â?? and adding data plans to our bill. We WILL be getting iPhones in 2012â?¦but now it's up in the air whether we'll stay with Verizon or switch to ATT.
