I don't get it the soil ball looked like it was covered in salt n I hadn't been giving nutes, I had given nutes three time in a month at 1/5th strength so I don't see how it could be from that!?? But after loosening alot of the old soil and repotting in fresh 6.8 soil and watering with 7.0 I really don't see how it instantly drops to 5.0!? What the hell am I doing that's slowly turning my soil to acid again n again!!?? Blaahhh!!!


Your not re-using soil are you? And I always rinse my ffof before putting my plants in it, that soil is awesome, but it's super hot. I have also ran into bad batches of soil where I could just not get the ph in check. I went back to my hydro store and they gave me a new bag of soil. After that I bring my ph meter right to the store and poke it through the bag to get a quick reading. There is so much debate about ffof and getting bad batches, people think it cant happen it not possible, but it is.
