Hey, So I bought a Ph tester yesterday and went out and tested it on my plants today
Most of my plants averaged around 5.5 to 7.5 but I had 4 plants that had 3.5 and below

What can I do to up the Ph?

It starts to show after a few days. But mind you, when the ph is THAT low, nothing is happening. No nute uptake, nothing.

If ur growing in soil, why don't you just dump some tap water in the soil? sheeez....

And why don't you check out my nutes if you're having ph trouble.

see sig

peace

Is your ph tester testing your soil or water?

if you grow in soil just add dolomite lime to your soil it will level the soil out to 7.0

Will just running tap water in it raise the pH? Without pH up
