depending on your medium and nutrients most times you don’t need it..Hello all, I was just looking online at nutrients and I noticed for hydroponic growing there are "pH perfect" nutrients that apparently adjust the pH for you where it needs to be. Are there such nutrients for soil growing? One of my least favorite parts of growing so far is adjusting pH and calibrating my pH pen. Is the only way in soil to use a living soil?
Real nice there Nick.depending on your medium and nutrients most times you don’t need it..
i use pro mix hp, bx, etc with organic nutrients and have never ph ever..
there’s ph buffers in soil and some soilless mixes..
here’s a pic just now, coming up on 9 weeks.. View attachment 2084758
I don't ph either, I'm in Promix or Sunshine mix or what ever is available and cheap. I grew for about 20 years not knowing about ph ing my soil and I thought wow that's what I was missing. So I started doing it religiously, after 2 months my vegging plant was looking sad with wilted leaves and stunted growth right when I wanted to flip. Someone suggested a run off test and it read 4.8ph. WTF I was doing what I was supposed to. PH down accumulates in the soil and drove my soil down to unhealthy levels, I was able to fix it all up with lime and another month of care but I no longer ph my input liquids but I check my run off occasionally just to make sure I'm not out of whack one way or the otherdepending on your medium and nutrients most times you don’t need it..

What do you use?I don’t PH and I grow in soil. I strictly grow organically.
I use Fox Farm ocean forest soil from seed to harvest. I use Roots Organic Terp Teas - grow, microbe, elemental, bloom, and booster (top dress is the method I prefer. There are several other feeding method's you could do as well and it is well explained on the bag or their chart). I kind of feed by feel for what the plants need but they have a schedule that you can follow along with that many swear by. I also use Down to Earth (Neem Seed Meal) during the grow as a supplement but the reason I truly use it because it keeps the bugs away. Works amazing for me, too dress mid veg and then first week of flower and the bugs just go away or most of the time they never come. Also some Fish shit and recharge usually a couple times during the grow cycle somewhere along the line. I do always let my water sit out for 24-36 hours prior to feeding my plants.What do you use?
Not saying by no means this is the best way to grow. So many other amazing products and different ways to grow. This just works well for me and I am comfortable with these nutrients and love the final product.I use Fox Farm ocean forest soil from seed to harvest.

Looking healthy and happy..Looking good. I'm currently on my second grow, in happy frog soil with fox farms nutrients. Week 5 of veg. Here are some pics. My small plant I stunted from over watering but it is catching back up. Tallest one is 2 feet tall and flipping to flower this weekend.
