I just need to know about how high to put my watering waters ph to so it will bring the soil up to an acceptable range. Thanks in advance for any info

Using Happy Frog too... The ph the soil is when dry isn't as important as the ph of the soil when you have a root system in it....

The water I use has a high ph and I have been battling with the soil to keep it at the right ph range. I have found Happy Frog to be a self adjusting type of soil. Typically the ph range I have is 7.0-7.5... I have to drop 10ml of ph down in 1gal of water just to drop the soil ph to 6.0-6.5. 12 hours after being given the acidic mix, the soil ph is back up to 7.0-7.5.... So now I just give 8ml per gallon just to keep the ph riding from 6.5 up to 7.5.... Can't complain though....(see pic, flwr day 34)
