I watered my plant w 7.7 ph this ok? I had worm tea i don’t wanna use ph up and ph down bc i heard it is not organic unless u use something that is organic
Usually do 6.3 u know ways to lowers it for 5 gal waterjust once isnt going to hurt it, but next time ph it first. 5.8 for hydro, 6.5 for soil
Just use carbonated water that has gone flat. Works as a great ph down buffer. Pluses cheap and it’s just water.I watered my plant w 7.7 ph this ok? I had worm tea i don’t wanna use ph up and ph down bc i heard it is not organic unless u use something that is organic
Carbonated water that has gone flat is just water it's no longer saturated with carbonic acid. The reason carbonated water lowers ph (very short duration) is because the carbon dioxide dissolved in the water creates carbonic acid. Thats the bubbles you see, carbon dioxide leaving the water.Just use carbonated water that has gone flat. Works as a great ph down buffer. Pluses cheap and it’s just water.
I've used pH down. Citric Acid.One watering with 7.7 pH won't hurt it too much. Make it a habit and your plant will get sick.
Natural, organic pH up and down do exist, and not too pricey.
Research the nutrients, N-P-K and the pH it takes to make them available and lockouts.I watered my plant w 7.7 ph this ok? I had worm tea i don’t wanna use ph up and ph down bc i heard it is not organic unless u use something that is organic
Composts I make (CPR) is always on the acidic side(6-6.5). When the pH is on the acidic side(6) has better drainage than alkaline soils. To acidic stops microbial activities, to alkaline can slow and even make phosphorous unavailable. Nitrogen is actually acidic.I watered my plant w 7.7 ph this ok?

Extremely good for soil but bad for hydro.I've used pH down. Citric Acid.
I'll drop it to a 6.0.
I know ZERO about hydroponics, Thankyou for the lesson.Extremely good for soil but bad for hydro.
that depends...if you have acidic soil lets say in the mid to upper 5ph then yes you would water with alkaline water by doing so as the alkaline water permeates the acidic soil it will lower the ph into the range needed for maximum growth 6.2I watered my plant w 7.7 ph this ok?

citric acid is good for biological soil not for hydroponics still many use it when you are growing inorganically you would use nitric acid or phosphoric acidExtremely good for soil but bad for hydro.
when you are growing biologically "organic" in soil %90 of the energy the plant produces during photosynthesis is used to producing a large root system when you are growing inorganically %90 of the energy the plant produces during photosynthesis is used to producing fruit and has a much smaller root system ...the reason is the inorganic fertilizer is already in a form the plant can use so the roots stay where the food is.I know ZERO about hydroponics, Thankyou for the lesson.

Any acid will lower ph. It's just finding the right one for the job.phosphoric acid is used to lower ph
