Hey, man. I'm pretty sure that guano and fish emulsion isn't going to register on your TDS correctly cuz they're organic. Not enough metalic salts to give an accurate reading.

[Big_House26]

Huh, didn't know that. Im starting to realize PH is more important...

My ph is 5.8-6 in soil. Gardening I'd use lime to sweeten it up. What would be recommended for pot?

thank you

6.8 in soil but you can almost get away with starting as high as 7 if you are using chemical ferts because they tend to drop the pH over time.

But did you know that the pH of your average leaf litter humus compost is naturally buffered in the range that the Shrek likes?

That's the primary reason I chose it as the base for my soil mix.

what is shrek? <G>

So my soil is slighlty acidic, so it will continue to get more so? And should I try and sweeten it up, or is this Ph acceptable?
