Ph Question.....
Should I be trying to match my Ph in my Water to the Ph of my soil?
Example..
I had done a grow in ProMix BX Ph7 and My Tap water was Ph 7. the grow worked out decent but could it be better?
I used Botanicare Pure Gro Pro nutes for veg and pure Pro Bloom for Flower.
I used ProMix. I added just water untill the 4th week. then I satrted adding some nutes (1/4 strength watered down). at about Week 5 and 1/2 I tested the water runoff of My Soil. It was 5.5 seemed low. I thought you always wanted your soil to be around 6.5 to 7Ph
So I tested my water found it was 7Ph untill I added nutes this dropped it down to about 5.8 or lower.
So when I add my nutes to my Ph 7 Water it brings it down to 5.5 Should I use Ph Up to bring it back up to 7ph to match my soil? Will this in theroy help my plants. Or is it a small detail compared to the other major details you can watch when growing a graden?
Hope that was clear enough..
1.. Should your water Ph always Match whatever Ph your soil is?
2.. Can you mix your nutes with Water Ph Up/Down without harming the water thus affecting the plants?
3.. Will having matched soil/water Ph Levels in theroy and if mixed correctly benifit my plants and the way they up take nutrients?
4.. I guess this one too Are there any household proucts that can be used to Ph/Up/Down the water? Safely or should I just buy the common brand grow shop stuff?
I am trying a grow with Coco Coir this time. As its easier to get and the grow shops keep telling me to try it. I have added the Lime so My coco is sitting aorund 6.8Ph right now and I have yet to put a seed in it untill I figure this out.
Any help is greatly appreciated
