I noticed my plants went taking up water like the should & decided to put up some sticky traps as I thought gnats.
Take note I do know the dangers of d.e. Just adding so no there’s no need for warnings about breathing it in.
that outa the way I covered the top soil in it but dunno if it’s coz I’ve covid or just didn’t think about it changing the ph.
I watered them yesterday something was up they didn’t look right however were due to be fed so I fed them well & crashed from this covid thing.
so I looked at the plants today & thought that’s no deficiency & tested the soils ph it’s sitting around 7-8
so I’ve brought some ph down.
fastest I could get Is in the photo.
so wadda you think I should do ph the water to 6.2 using a better meter than the soil one you see in the pic it’s not that far out.
add that water to the soil & see where it comes out @ or ?
@mix you should definitely invest in a ph pen man it will help keep you dialed in a bit more accurately than those stick in the soil type meters
I fear I’ll have to suss this out myself they don’t need watering & they just got fed not really the time I want to flush them esp still being Ill.
That aside
like I posted I’ve a proper ph pen
however tbh I don’t know of a pen you can stick in the soil.
things move on & such can you buy a probe that reads the soil ph itself That’s acceptable
I do have a ph/ec pen for water.
With the soil I use & with what I normally add my ph is always 6.5 but for soil yeah one of them pens would be better.
It would be so easy if it had lowered the ph I could of just watered in a ( tiny ) bit of burnt paper till it got back to normal Shame I don’t know any ph down tricks that do the same but vise versa bar dunno about adding lemon concentrate probably work just waffling now I guess
@mix I would flush the soil with water Ph'd to 6.3 to get the medium reset to 6.3-6.5 and if they are due a feed pour it in last. I have used lemon juice to Ph my water also works fine.
Sativa to change the things I can, Indica to accept the things I can’t.
Thanks twisted
If I used d.earth again would mixing it with Dolomite lime fix it’s ph problems.
