Hi.
My soil ph is low. Whats the better way to increase it quickly? Lime, baking soda?

RunoffHow did you check the ph?
What soil are you using and are you using readily available nutrients?Hi.

The ph in about 6.78 runoff was 4.76.What is the PH? What is the media? what is the PH of the water you're putting in? Normally chasing runoff is not productive. Are the plants not growing well?
No it's definitely hot. There was an accidental top dressing higher than the recommended dose.I think you may have a problem with your ppm meter, at 9500 ppm’s the water would be cloudy/chunky! Is your soil heavy in peat moss?
What nutes are you using?No it's definitely hot. There was an accidental top dressing higher than the recommended dose.
The meter is fine. Recently calibrated. Tested multiple water sources,
I wonder should I adjust with baking soda and test tomorrow to see what it do. I'm reading baking soda increases ph in 6 hours. I just wonder if I'm on the right track. Some people do t even ph their soil.
Dr earthWhat nutes are you using?
What was the top dressing?
Dry or bottled?Dr earth

Your plants look good, maybe just a lil hungry.
No need to ph or measure runoff, but you're going to want something for microbes, like ewc or compost, and something for mulch, like barley straw or rice hulls.
As a matter of fact, don't water to runoff. Water in 5-10% water to soil volume.Your plants look good, maybe just a lil hungry.
The ppm ranges from 3900 to 9500. Those numbers unfortunately are real.Your plants look good, maybe just a lil hungry.
I give ewc all the time. I even gave it tribus several times already. I'm probably at day 50 in an auto run.No need to ph or measure runoff, but you're going to want something for microbes, like ewc or compost, and something for mulch, like barley straw or rice hulls.
That's organic nutrient you're using. It works different from water soluble, readily available nutrients.The ppm ranges from 3900 to 9500. Those numbers unfortunately are real.
You need mulch with top dressing as well.I give ewc all the time. I even gave it tribus several times already. I'm probably at day 50 in an auto run.
Will baking soda ruin the plants?
