NO,you dont PH living teas. I have never PH'd a tea...ever. teas and soil are vastly different entities imo. so the fact that one buffers FOR you and the other is a medium providing MORE foods and soluble additions.full able to be upped into the plant quickly. just because people say it take days n days before ytou see organics takes a hold but thats noit so say because you cant see it ISN'T working at all or providing foods,protection and pro biotiocs and the like. a Tea does these things quickly too. jusat may pass by the b onus plus effect from simple feeding. it exercises your soil,your roots if its not HARD PH dealing like Acid LOL! but i see it all the time when not PH'ing. PH drops the natural PH of the soil. wetting a medium inherently changes the PH and EC of any medium.wet or water does that. wqhen it starts to dry up some is where you sweet spot is. thats why its also said to not overly water your plants for whatever reason. its bad after bad when seeing other water the crap outta it eh?!
