PH levels and the many wonders i have...........

I dont want to get into it too much but i wanted some expert advise on ph levels.... im just starting my seccond week of flowering and have some brown crispy edges growing good though! .. with some research i thought testing my ph would be helpful. I got a ph tester and found its at 7.4... what does this mean? is this bad? i see most say it should be around 6.5... right? some info would be helpfull... thanks..

p.s. honey oil is cool...:mrgreen:

yes 7.4 is too high...ph varies depending on media but yes ph is important you need it in the correct range so the ladys can intake the whole spectrum of nutes... i hope this helps

...if your growing in soil, rapid dolomite lime will keep your pH in check. Add 1 tbls. per gallon of soil as a top dressing and water in as normal. Dolomite lime fights to keep your pH @ 7, so if you pH everything going in your soil to around 6.0- 6.5 you'll stay slightly acidic, and that is what you want. You'll never be able to dial your pH in while growing in soil due to soil's pH changing as the soil dries. Lime should keep you "in range", no worries. Good luck.

if your growing in soil i would personally wanna get the ph in check b4 adding the lime as a buffer , u need to buy some agriculture sulphar to lower the ph.
