I had a lot of problems with my tap water when I started. The city where I live, I found out, puts in quite a lot of buffer raising the alkalinity and pH up significantly to around 8.9. I was having no luck whatsoever on my first grow. I found that even though I was using pH down to get it between 6.0 and 7.0, it was rising back up within an hour or two.
Even after adding nutrients? Pro xl boost start and grow a and b
You’re in soil. You’re good. No need to adjust pH.
No ph in soil what do you mean by that??No ph in soil, this needs to be spread everywhere till peeps stop asking and basic grow sense prevails
The soil will ph your water. If you have a problem with ph in soil you need to look at your soil makeup
I've been trying to sort out the ph before I put it in the soil. Should I be checking the soil rather than what I'm putting in?
No... There is no need to check your ph the soil will adjust it. If it was coco or hydro then yes you need to because they are for the most part inert mediums. Soil will alter the ph for you.
Thank you I appreciate the help. Some people seem on here find it hard to just answer a question without being rude or make feel stupid. I'm just trying to learn that is all
It depends on the day. These people answer a lot of the same questions day in and day out and it gets tiring.
Yeah I do understand but I'm sure we all started at the same point at some time. I appreciate your help and honesty goues along way
