Indoor How to change PH in small containers when seedlings?

[Justinsane]

1 of my 12 mi5 did sprout this night. 11 more to go.

They start out in small containers, 1 liter air pots.

I did correct the ph of the soil to 6.5 before i put the seeds in.

But just for fun(?) say that my ph is not correct any more.

How do you check run off water now when the babies are so small. The amount of water that is needed to get some run off will probably drown the small ones.

Not to mention the whole changing ph with even more water....

So, how does one check ph in the very beginning of the grow, and change it if needed?

I dont check my PH for the first 2weeks theres no point mate.. just water a small amount of normal tap water...My tap water is like 7.5 and all i do is leave it to stand for at least 24hrs then water Si

Ok, but why is the no point in doing that? Then why all the fuzz about the ph need to be correct before planting? Say that your plan is to repot after 2 weeks. Is the ph of the soil in the first container nothing to care about at all?

everyone has differant oppinions on this i personal dont see the point in checking it at the start..Obviously if your soil is high in PH anyway then yeh check your PH but you dont want to flood your seedlings... If your using small like solo cups then you can water enougth to get run off so thats o.k to do so i start mine in their final pots and i know my soil is around 6.6 so thats why i dont do it Si
