In actual soil there’s no need to adjust pH.What's up my grow brothers!
Been coming along two opinions wherever I check and ask.....
Should I lower my water pH even though I am growing all organic soil and organic powder feed ??
My tap waters pH is between 7.5-7.7
Would appreciate your input
Much love
What do you mean in actual soil? You mean a regular light Mix Bio soil?In actual soil there’s no need to adjust pH.
Meaning dirt and not peat.What do you mean in actual soil? You mean a regular light Mix Bio soil?
Or what do you mean by actual soil?
Can you look at this medium and tell me what you think pleaseMeaning dirt and not peat.
It’s peat. You will need to adjust pH.You ever heard of bio bizz light mix...

So I adjust my tap water Everytime before watering......between 6.5-6.8??It’s peat. You will need to adjust pH.
Wow and I heard so many people say that the organic medium self regulates and that I should not worry about pH water.Suggest 6.2-6.5 but yes - even when giving plain water.
Organic soil yes. Organics in peat are simply using something “organic” rather than mineral salts in jars for nutrientsWow and I heard so many people say that the organic medium self regulates and that I should not worry about pH water.
No that it could actually harm my plants....
Well what is truly organic soil on the market then???Organic soil yes. Organics in peat are simply using something “organic” rather than mineral salts in jars for nutrients
I have no idea. Everyone I know makes their own. Soil is extremely heavy and shipping costs would be huge. Perhaps someone else knows who sells it by the bag.Well what is truly organic soil on the market then???
Lol naaa that is too much lol.......I'd rather just adjust the pH then hahahaGenerally it’s made up by the user and IMPORTANTLY allow it to “cook” for up to a year before using it.
So bottom line if I give plain water with a average pH of 6.5 I will be ok??!!Generally it’s made up by the user and IMPORTANTLY allow it to “cook” for up to a year before using it.
Soil is a bitch. Heavy. Waterlogs easily and dries slowly. Buy a roll of cheap litmus paper. It’s more than adequate for our purposes.Lol naaa that is too much lol.......I'd rather just adjust the pH then hahaha
What about growing in coco with organic powder feed.Soil is a bitch. Heavy. Waterlogs easily and dries slowly. Buy a roll of cheap litmus paper. It’s more than adequate for our purposes.
I'm growing with organic powder feed in coco that I mix in from the beginning, less Hassle.....that is where I need to know since I am using organic powder feed in coco......if I even have to worry about my Waters ph? You know..Add all your ferts etc to your water first, mix well and allow an hour or more before testing the pH so it has time to stabilize. Overnight with an airstone bubbling in it to keep it mixed up is even better.
I use RO water only so the minerals in my hard tap water don't mess with the chemistry in my root zone.
Get a water analysis report from your provider too so you know what is actually in your water. Various mineral salts in the water may be perfectly fine for you to drink but will build up in your media and can mess things up.
You should still reduce the pH of your tap water but getting it bang on 6 or so isn't critical if you already have the nutes in the coco. Using water with 7.5+ pH will over time raise your pH in the pots too high and problems will arise.I'm growing with organic powder feed in coco that I mix in from the beginning, less Hassle.....that is where I need to know since I am using organic powder feed in coco......if I even have to worry about my Waters ph?
