First allow me to say! the ph problem in the soil may be corrected! but at what exspense? I first brought the ph up to 7.2 and add the water to the plant then checked the run off from the plants and it was 6.0 -6.1 and that was @ ph added water at 7.2 so inorder for me to balance the run off water to a 6.5 or so I would have to bring the ph up to over 8.0 or so and guess what? I did lol,note used just one plant to test....I brought the ph up to 8.0 and flushed the plant with 8.0 ph and the run off from the plant was 6.6 so now my question is would 8.0 ph hurt the plants but take note the ph drops to 6.6 as soon as the water runs fromthe bottom of the plant!...........any thoughts? is 8.0 way to high or is this fine to do to correct the ph in the soil?
Mellow Man Reviewed by Mellow Man on . PH Question! Guys I grow with soil mixed with perlite about 50/50 and I always maintain the ph level @ 6.5-6.8 so I am in a good zone,but my question is why is the ph water that is coming out of the pot that I watered shoot down way below 6.0? .. I will use perfect ph balance water but the run off shoots down way below the 6.0 mark,why is this? of course it's probably because all the excess salts and unused nutes in the soil may be causeing the ph to go down so does this also mean that once the balanced Rating: 5
