Confused🤪🤪

[Jamieb]

Hi there’s so many conflicting reports on how to raise or lower the ph in coco! I’ve tried the forums which has made me even more confused lol,so is there anyone that can point me in The right direction Please? I’ve bought a ph and moisture probe which I’ve placed in the pot this morning, basically it says the ph level is just above 7 ( I will add pictures) and the moisture says it’s just above dry into moist.not sure what run off is as not used enough water to get run off yet ( is this bad?)

Those sorts of meters work better outdoors for soil, you need ph and ppm pens really for coco.

Water coco daily. You don't need a moisture prob for it because it's not soil. Ph 5.8-6.2 ish. Coco needs to stay saturated. Pictures of your plants?

I'm not a coco grower so wait for others but I just wanted to clear up some stuff for you.

This guide pretty much explains it. The one key point I want to drive home is ITS NOT SOIL.

Even a cheap pen for $20 on amazon will work better than nothing until you learn your water & medium then you can just look at plant

I have a meter same as yours. The moisture and light are good but the ph is wrong and completely unreliable.

I wasn’t expecting much from it to be honest it was only cheap

Get your monies worth out of your meter, stick it in the garden, they work better in soil.

Well after being in shed with my new TDS/EC meter for over an hour finally worked out my nutrient levels etc to get me to desired levels( felt like a proper chemist ) hopefully can only get easier now thank you to all that have given me advice it’s been much appreciated

Now go and get that other soil meter and open up trash can and drop it in your problems will all be solved never rely on those meters there rubbish you would never find one in a Garden Nursery , I know I’ve been a Nursery Man in my line of work as a Horticulturist for over 30 years save your money . Save your sanity ..... Od
