Ok i have 4 plants growing in 50 percent organic soil 30 perlite co sphagnum peat. I was told it could be the peat?? I flushed them yesterday with 6.5 water all my runoff went form low 7's to 6.6. this morning i checked m,y soil a halfassed way with just a regular ph tester but yesterday it was giving me the same readings as my runoff so i have to guess it's fairly accurate. this am it is in the 7's again Any ideas what i can do to lower the ph, one is drooping so i am afraid to flush again. what can i add to the soil maybe to keep it in the proper range?? ty
Don't do anything to it. You only make things worse by "flushing". Your soil will adjust in time. By the way, sphagnum peat is in lower pH range.
Are you dechlorinating the water? That could kill any beneficial bacteria in the soil I bet. If the bacteria adjusts the ph for you, if not ignore my comment, just looking for somewhere to talk http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1305920-Kushgodrex%27s-First-Grow
ha ha..talk ....i transplanted and flushed em and they seem to be doing better. had my last plant with 1 wk left of flowering hermie on me last night. i hacked it down and hung it in the flower room to dry but im worried it will affect my plants in veg even though they are in another room in a tent...not sure what to do...what do ya think?
Idk I read somewhere to cut off he sacks if it's not out of control. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1305920-Kushgodrex%27s-First-Grow
