there is a company that makes organic ph adjusters - seen it in another post here, bt cant remember who makes it...
People suggesting bottled organic PH adjusters :icon_dizzy:.
Need store bought plastic bottles the Jedi do not.
Anyhow, I went Jedi a couple of years ago and since that time I've fed my soil nothing but, organic compost teas...
Dissolved oxygen can effect PH. Bennies multiplying because of dissolved oxygen will as well.
Baking soda raises PH but don't use too much too often.
If you're making tea you mos-def need to bubble it for at least 12 hours. Be careful when bubbling your tea air/sugar will feed your bennies but they're not magic. Exponential multiplication of the microbiological life will not occur. Optimal brew time will vary based on what you're brewing.
I'm sure we have all brewed a tea and noticed TONS of foam then 24-48 hours later we notice our tea has a lot less bubbles.... Congrats, you brewed too long and most of the bennies you created are now dead/useless :damnhippie:
It can be hard to get an accurate reading with organics, especially teas when it comes to pH and EC. Mine usually run around 6.0 when I've tested them. The ingredients you use can affect the pH. Do a little research and you can find out what raises and lower the pH of your tea. I would be leery of adding any of the pH up or down to a tea - from what I have seen the people that brew it professionally do not do this.
I would not manipulate pH. That's up to the microbes. If I noticed plants suffering from a low pH I would attempt to increase bacteria. If the pH became too alkaline I'd attempt to increase fungal volume of the tea.
