New Grower How do I adjust the ph of my soil???

1. It's the same with all soils.
2. Take a look at Jorge Cervantes' deficiency chart, it's really helpful for recognizing early deficiencies!
3. That sounds like an awesome modification to your grow room.

Either you need to pH your water, or if you are already then the soil needs more pH buffer like fine powdered dolomite lime.

Now I'm having a problem with my soil being at 7 when I check the ph. This is not the same plants. These are tangie matic and jack herrer. Can I lower the ph of my water down to maybe 5 and bring the soil ph down? Sorry to be asking again. Just trying to figure this out while my babies are still looking healthy.

My room is 4x4x8. I've been stuck on trying to decide if I should divide it and have two 4x4x4s. One for veg and one for flower. But at the moment I'm stuck also because I have 3 autos that need 18/6 and 3 that were bag seed from some mid. The pic is one of the 3. I had them in flower for 13 days and then my autos arrived and I was anxious to start them so I reverted back to 18/6. So now I'm just going to beg them until the autos finish. I'll probably take a few cuttings just for the fact they are female.

I find you tend to need more space for flowering than u do veg

Your plant will tell you when you have an issue.There is really no tell tale way to test your soil PH without sending to a lab.Runoff is really telling you nothing on PH.If you have 7 going in and 4 coming out it might indicate your PH is low but i would only have that concern if your plant was showing a deficiency.It looks really good so i would just keep doing what your doing.The soil PH is already set as long as your putting in between 6 and 7 your good.Lime will take to long to adjust and without a proper soil test you could be raising the PH level of perfect PH soil to begin with.Just keep doing what your doing that plant is fine.

Up until last year I never tested ph and have had no problems that I have ever noticed but that was bag seed I've only grown good stuff like this one time. It was alcapulco gold. I never ph the water on it but I didn't get much bud either. But I had her in to small of pot also.

plants look good.If you got a plant that does not go anywhere for a week than you might have a ph issue.I keep logs of everything and measure the plants daily to measure there growth.I have seen them establish roots and grow 2 inches a day easy.they usually sit still for the first 12 to 14 days but than take off after that.here are some i got.22 days old today.white widow BB,sour diesel blackberry kush and green crack,all autos
