How does 1 properly PH?

[Garden Knowm]

Hi Knowm,

I have a trio of seedlings that are in MG right now but i've got the rest of the soil in another bin and added some perlite and peat. Before I transfer them to big pots, do you think I should add lime or should I just stick with a 6-6.5ph that i've got right now?

HEY K!

I would not add anything to the soil other than perlite. I would make adjustments to the PH by using water that is slightly higher than normal.. for example.. If my soil was 6.o I would water with 6.8-7.0 water..

iloveyou : )

I am using soil as my medium. Can anyone tell me the exact directions for testing the ph with this http://www.plantitearth.com/store/product.asp?pid=63&catid=65 Also I am going to buy a PH meter to stick in the soil. I know I need to test the nuted water, either raise or lower the PH with up or down PH. but how do I adjust the soils PH level? Rating: 5
