I only ph my hydro grow, never ph my soil, but I do believe if your soil is dead, it's not going to buffer ph real well.
oh okay haha thanks for the advice mate. What I’ll do then in a couple days is just give a nice water so I get a bit of run off and see what’s going on.
Btw the pictures were taken at 6am. So the lights had been on for an hour. Can’t remember who mentioned it
oh right okay, never read anything about not ph’ing water for soil.
Any recommended reads for a newbie? I’ve spent hours reading up and reading books about it. Everything says to PH the water haha. Also, what do you mean by buffer PH?
Early mate. Think they were a bit dry last night, watered this morning then took the photo straight away. Been droopy since yesterday. Will see how she’s doing when I get home.

i dont feel right spammin some pics so ill just word it, When im in my 5g buckets and start feeding GH flora i have to PH, even though it's in soil cuz im pounding feeds into them nearly every day. My mounds i don't ph ever. I guess it depends on scenario. If i didn't ph for my 5g grows i'd have problems mid to late flower.

Read "teaming with microbes". It'll answer all your questions about growing in organic soil.
well I guess I need to test the PH of the run off to see what I’ve done. Maybe it’s too low since I’ve been doing it myself and I’ve overdone it maybe.

You will be better off to forget about the whole pH thing. You do not need to measure that runoff which will be low 5,0 coz it only makes your hair grey. Your plants are slightly droppy, might be just your watering habits. Do not dick around pH is my advice…
Hmm; okay I’ll try and forget about it for now then. See how it goes for a month or so
