Hey folks. I was going to be starting a new grow soon and was trying to be proactive about my soil. Do to finding out half way through my last grow that my soil was around 7.5, I decided to test the soil I was going to use ( fertilome ultimate potting mix ) and it is testing at 6.9 ( I tested it dry and then added some water just to see if it changed, it didnt ) Should I use this or go for a soil closer to 6.5. I know I can add dolimite but I just dont know if its worth the hassle and guess work since I havent started yet. Im not dead set on the soil, just had some laying around and thought id try it.
 
If your soil is 6.9 and you ph your water to around 6.3 or 6.4 you should be just fine.
 
thanks namvet, I wasnt too sure if using lower ph 'd water would overcome that or not.
