optimal ph, nute lock, organic growing

[gr0wer]

I just recieved my ph meter today, I put my plants in bigger pots today and i tested the soil it read 6.6-6.9 is this ok? I heard 6 is good for soil but whast optimal?? And when high and low, does nute-lock occur? and I used compost dirt from my backyard for the transplant should i use ferts still, use a weaker ratio, or cotinue with my normal ferting same strength. And i tested my liquid fert and its around 5.7ph so shold i think of changing the ph of the fert so it dosent change the ph of the soil as much?

whats your water ph and whats the ph of ur water mixed with ur fert.? or is it 5.7 by its self?

HIGH All, 6.8 is optimal for soil.

Here's the Nutrient Availability Chart. For soil it's the left one and for Hydro it's the right one.

When useing compost make sure it's been composting for at least a year. Useing soil from outside will invite those little nasties that acompany soil from the outside world.

Thanks unoit for the chart, your the man. It will be handy if i think I ever get nute lock.

I water once a week with 1/2 strength 10-10-10 and my last watering i steped up to 3/4 strength 10-10-10. I didnt test the ph with water, just straight fert. I will test that next time i water my plants. I just realized today thet thie one plant still has milky green leaf colors around some the vanes. Ive never seen it on any other plants ive grown or on the FAQs for deffeciencys. Prior to yesterday i believed the ph was off adn causing this. But now that i know it was good i m not shure. teh plant was like this since the first (real pointy leaf) node and every leaf has it. Could it just be genetics? I tried to take a pic but it dosent show in the pics because i dont have good lighting for pics, and my digi is a bitch at taking close-ups. I will attempt to get a good pic.
