Evening all,
If running 100% organic do you have to adjust ph?
I'm using the biobizz range, and coco.
Upto now I have adjusted to around 5.8 to 6.0. However I have read that when using pure organic no adjustments of pH are needed.
Thanks
Debatable. But i always ph my nutrient solution. If i was growing in living organic supersoil and feeding only water i might not bother as long as the alkalinity wasnt too high. But mixing nutrient solution, yeah i'd ph it, organic or not.
Right now im feeding Earth juice and after 2 days of bubbling it lands at 7.2ph, i add a small splash of grow or bloom nutes to it and it drops the ph back to 6.2-6.4 before i feed it to the plants. I dont use ph adjusters to adjust the ph.
If it was low everytime instead of high Id pretreat my water with more potassium silicate to increase the ph.
