Hmm, do you remember what brand? 5.0-5.5 is low for soil. I'll wait for the soil experts to chime in but I think 5.8-6.2 is more ideal after checking my notes.
Info on soil it's made by them.
Our Soil
Our Superior Cannabis Soil is made from the finest blend of organic ingredients and specifically formulated to produce maximum growth, health and yields. We use sustainable, organic ingredients; including our own special blend compost that is loaded with growth-boosting microorganisms that plants thrive on! Our soil is rich with an abundance of trace minerals and bio-diversity not found in commercially produced products. In addition to our exceptional ingredients, what truly sets our soil apart is our process. Every batch of Stone Queen Organic soil is mixed by hand then cooked for a minimum of 30 days. The process of “cooking” allows the nutrients to break down into simpler forms thereby creating more accessible uptake for your plants. Plants grown in organic soil contain higher levels of nutrients, minerals, better flavor and aroma.
- Organisms remain in the soil so there is less chance of nutrient run off or waste
- Slow release of nutrients protects the plants from overfeeding and burning
- Formulated for optimal aeration and drainage
- Organic soil deters pest infestations and inhibits pathogens
- Organic nutrients stay in the soil for much longer than liquid /chemical nutrients
- Organic soil improves and enhances flavor
- Sustainable and environmentally friendly
- All Organic-No Chemicals
- Easy application-simply pour and grow!
Benefits of Our Soil:
Marijuana plants thrive in soil with a pH between about 5.5 and 6.5 but struggle when growing in soils outside of that pH range. As the soil gets further from the desired pH range, it becomes difficult, then impossible for marijuana plants to uptake certain important nutrients. This nutrient lockout not only deprives your plants of important nutrients which stall growth but leads to plant stress and eventually plant death.
Our soil has a pH between 5.9-6.3, however, it is also very important to check the pH of your water on a regular basis
