Hey thanks. Would I just put the peat moss on top of the soil and water? How fast will that work? Thanks for the info. +rep
.
To Serve Man.... The peat moss will not be quick acting. It will take weeks to bring down the pH. In the meanwhile, pH some water to 5.8 & flush repeatedly (until the runoff water shows to be 6.5 or slightly under).
.
Your current soil pH is locking out way too many nutes. The flushing with the pH adjusted water is a must......
.
Hope this helps.....

Alright, I ran through only 1 1/2 gallons of 5.8 phed water and it dropped the ph down to 6.5-6.7. The runoff for both checks were around 6.5-6.7 and I checked the soil and the ph was at 6.7. Hopefully this helps. I was just really surprised that it only took 1 1/2 gallons. I did flush it (with non-phed water, but our tap water is 7.8) a week or so ago with about 6 gallons. It is still getting worse, but hopefully this will solve it. What should I do now to get this girl back on track guys? How long until I see results. I'm going to do my WW with the same, and from here on out I'm going to check that fuckin ph!

To Serve Man...... Feed her weakly / weekly for two weeks, using a combo of grow & bloom nutes. Use 1/4 strength grow nutes & 1/2 strength bloom nutes. Add a teaspoon of Cal-Mag or Mag-i-cal into each gallon of water you use to feed and/or water with, during this two week dailing back in period. Let the medium dry out slightly, between watering & or feeding sessions also.
.
This will help her build back up her strength and recover from the pH stress. Then resume your normal watering / feeding schedule. If the pH of your runoff gets to 6.8 or above, starting working it back down in small increments.
.
Low, Slow & Steady......

Hope this helps....

Thanks OhSo. Can I just add the Mag-i-Cal directly to my teas when I bubble it? Also, should I use it all through the flowering period, or just this 2 week period? Can I use it on my other grows all through the flowering period?

earth juice has it and they are always 100 percent organic. Liquid karma is Not organic by the way

Won't cider vinegar kill all the microherds? Yeah, I am having bad problems with my ph and I believe my one plant is mangnese def so I am looking for something for that. I should have added the lime directly to the soil, but I didn't. My plants are in day 31 of flowering and the one doesn't look so great. I think all the organics made my ph all outta sync. Can you use ph up or down directly in your teas without it hurting your microbeasties? Thanks for the help everyone.
Wheat germ, in water, with an enzyme to break it down, and I pump air in too to keep it mixing. and, this works extreme wonders, but it does not provide energy base to repopulate microbes like molasses will. Which is a good reason to add stuff like fulvic/humic acid to speed up uptake and enzymes to speed up the breakdown of nutrients.
I currently use alsaska fish emulsion and alaska morbloom (these two have just about everything you need and it is organic so it doesn't burn) i also use cannazyme as an enzyme, and and actinovate as a bacteria that goes after fungus. oh, and a wheatgerm tea.
