you'll need a digital pH meter really. it's going to become very costly for you other wise. As wel the drop method isn't accurate enough.

it is very easy to pH water and to test for pH. if you had a pen pH meter you would water your plants and collect the run off and test it. that is the pH of your soil.

to pH water you would test the pH of your tap water. then add pH up or down to adjust it. and just keep testing untill you get what you want 6.3-6.5

i've had a lot of problems with pH and it causes a LOT of problems such as salt build up.

i now pH my soil. which is creating a soil mix that has the pH i want 6.4.

to do this you get something basic (i use top soil) and something acidic (peat moss) then you make your mix with whatever you use worm castings perlite and so on. Then once your happy. take a sample of it and run water through it and test it. add some peat or top soil to bring it down or up. test again. keep going untill you got it right.
harris7 Reviewed by harris7 on . OregonsDank messes up :( Well around the 20th of October my plants were growing around 1/2 inch a day minimum and zero stretching. Near 14 inches tall on day 20 of growing. At this point my runt of the 6 passed all the others before I relised my plants were starving :(. I have always used maybe 20% or less of the recommended amount of food , since I mixed dry food in with soil when planted... Well my plants ate that all up real fast and now are starving. I guess I need to find an all purpose fertilizer to Rating: 5
