Mephisto Genetics ph to high

[TreyDogg]

That plant looks good. For now. My issue has been pulling my girls through to the end. The high ph of the soil is where i think my issue lies. My water is store bought normally comes at 6.o ozarka will come in lower. Adding cal mag will drop it more sometimes. If it gets low i normally just ad a bit of tap water its at like 8.

Just tested my tap water, its between 7 + 8 ... i used a drop test as i dont have a digi meter cos im in soil and never needed one.
I use biobizz grow and bloom, topmax and canna bio-rhizotonic. Thats it... i will get some GWS for next time but nothing else.
Im gonna water tonight so i will test everything before and the runoff and see the difference.

Hi all.... im new here but PHing in soil is not really a good thing.
If u must, use lemon juice or citric acid to lower ph or bicarbonate of soda to raise if you need to.
Unless you are using a true "living soil" then there is no microherd to speak of, but a lot of good bacteria and organisms that help to buffer the ph to usable levels.
This is just my thruppence worth but, playing around with ph when you are soil growing with organic nutes is a no-no unless you really know what you are doing.
Good luck mate... im keeping my eye on this as i am intrigued on the outcome.

Yeah I dont like adding stuff to the water much I use cal mag when needed. And tap water to adjust ph.

I feed tomorrow, will test soil first then water, test run off see where we are at.
