Ive been watering every 2-3 days, or until i cant stick my middle finger all the way down in the soil and feel its not damp. I just now got to testing my water its at 8.5. which SUCKS. going to my hydro store and getting containers filled with water at 6.0. going to flush them tonight or tomorrow and see what happens. I think the problems should subside when i get the ph correct in the water area. Does that mean that i should change the soil that has been watered with the 8.5 water? or when it drys out it should be fine? or does that affec the ph of the soil?
