High ph after compost feeding

Hey guys, So I was having signs of deficiencies being it was 30 days past my last feeding so I’ve had a compost tea for them at 175 ppm was and the ph was naturally 8.0 so I did adjust to 6.6. My pH before the watering was at 6.2 and after the water in it is Reading 7.0 and above on all the plants any suggestions on what I have might’ve gone wrong and how to fix it it. I fed with 1 cup EWC in two gallons of water, 2 tbsp molasses and 1 tbsp liquid seaweed. I plan to just flush with sulfur water next watering was a very very light flush any suggestions?
Back on topic. Stop flushing. If you think you gave too high of a dose of nutrients, just do plain water until the toxicity signs go away. I don’t see any on your plant. Sorry this guy can’t stop trying to prove he’s awesome in your thread asking for help. :hump:

Aint no one trying to prove anything except you trying to prove you know the only correct way to grow cannabis. Reality check, ya dont. And if this man wants advice on something that has been working for him, who are you to tell him he is absolutely wrong? You CAN absolutely ph in an organic grow. Period. Regardless of my results, show me that it doesn't work. I invite you.

You can do whatever you want. The nutrients you are using have a ph buffer that brings it right back to 7. :wall: Do some research on what you’re using. If you want to keep dumping ph down into your microbes go for it!! They’re your plants. I prefer not to waste money and time on things that aren’t needed. Post some more pics of your amazing plants.

It sounds like you dont have any experience in this area because its working fantastic for me. 6 dif strains, one auto, and all happy. Must be too hard to figure out for ya. I doubt I have any microbes buddy. I kill them with the ph up and down, my plants eat what I give them and they do just fine, 6.2 ph on EVERYTHING. Doesnt come out higher than it went in either, if it did, I would flush it. Imagine that, advice different than your own that actually works. With visible results. You must be devastated.

Way to make the thread about you. I’m sure the OP appreciates you patting yourself on the back while he’s trying to get help.

If you like dumping your money down the drain...you do you.:peace:

I have zero growing experience thanks for asking

OP do some research. Most microbes/bacteria like a ph of 6.5+. So dumping acidic water into acidic soil (that will get more acidic as it dries) is generally a bad idea. It’s a complete waste of time and money. Some day he will swallow his pride and realize it’s a waste too. But whatever.

Im sure the op is gaining a lot of valuable information. I didnt come on here being rude telling people they don't know what they're doing, I came to share my experience in how I do things. You want to be right, go ahead, you aren't wrong. And neither am i, obviously, and you've continued to act as if your advice or knowledge is superior. Right or wrong, experience is experience, and if it works, it isn't wrong. But whatever, my shits happy and I'll continue doing shit my correct way.

Believe it or not, they can correlate. A plant can absorb nutrients in soil the same as it can in sand. I ph everything, every watering and feeding with mother nature terracraft soil, burpee 4-4-4, and montys plant food. Would you like to see results?
No. I don't care.

He’s struggling to get through veg.

Now he’s a pro:wall:
Youre struggling with reality bro. You think you're the pot king or something bro? Lmao. I know its hard for you to comprehend, but you cant argue with results. No matter what you say, my shit is thriving. You cant afford ph up and down? I'll buy you some bro.

Adjusting ph is a waste of time and resources. Most bacteria like neutral or slightly acidic soil. Your microbes will monitor your soil ph just don’t get in their way.
Okay got it man

they aren’t looking any worse than this morning and the ph has dropped back to 6.6 but I’ll keep this all in mind I appreciate you all!

You seem to thrive on self validation.

You're not doing anything special.

And when you get to the end of that thread you see a 4 ounce plant grown with a 200 watt led. Results of a method you are swearing against, only proving my point and going against your own. What are you even doing bub? You that bored? Lol. This is sad man.

Self validation... Yeah I don't need validation. I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong, that I'm not saying im doing anything special, but to say it doesn't work is pure ignorance.
Some day he will realize they would look the same without the ph down :hump: :lol: :lol:
One day you'll realize you weren't born with the knowledge of the universe. Nah, I doubt it.

I honestly have ph all my other plants and never really ran into these issues. I’ve seen both sides of the argument work, this grow saw no ph though veg and started using when my compost teas were coming in really high. I also watched almost all of Cali green and canuks and both those guys grow some fire ass buds and ph there water. I have another run I’m looking forward to growing and experiencing with no ph at all
