Ph do i or not

[cordrip]

Ok I am growing in bio bizz all mix using bio bizz organic nutes.The prob is i have grown a succesfull crop before using this method.However the guy in the shop said i did not have to ph the water.I didnt and had a good crop,this crop i think i gave them a bit to much nutes and want to flush them.Do i just carry on without ph or do i need to do this.Pll tell me you will mess up the ph in the soil as it is set when manafactured.I am really confused.

hmm well your post is a little unclear, so all i am going to say is pH is super important. you want your soil the perfect pH, so if you are going to flush is, you should have the right pH of water. a lot of peoples water is very basic (high ph) which can cause major problems, mainly nute lockout. so if i were you, i would be ph-ing every step of the way. check the ph of your nutes, your water, and even your soil. i even go a step further and ph my soil to the right level by adding varying levels of topsoil, lime, and peatmoss.

hope that helps

Thanks mate.Yea sorry about being unclear i was wasted lol.The guy in the shop said the soil was already at right the ph.He also said if start changing the water ph i will mess up the soil ph.He was basically saying i didnt need to ph when growing organic.Maybe he was wasted aswell rofl.

How do you test the ph of the soil water etc?
apart from buying a $100 tester from dick smiths, or is this the only way?

You can buy a tester kit.It has a small glass vile you fill with your water,then you add the solution and compare the colours on a small chart.A piss colour seems to be a good ph for cannabis.
