Going at this alone, I watch Mr Canucks videos and he ph’s to about 6.5 with seemingly great results so I have been following suit.
I have also read that a proper soil shouldn’t need to be ph-d. So to me it seems like I’m seeing conflicting info lol.
Last winter I didn’t ph for a while using the “soil fixes it” theory and issues arose, when I checked my water it was about 8.5 from the well, so I went back to ph-Ing to be on the safe side.
Over the summer it will moderate down to roughly 7ph give or take 1-2 points. My outside grows did fine with water straight from the hose, just like we drank as kids.
My thinking with ph-ing also comes from the ph plant uptake charts I’ve seen. Grow Weed Easy says to vary your ph, as the plants only uptake the nutrients while the water is present. Therefore it was good to vary your ph. So to me it seemed like I was erring on the side of caution.
If I am mistaken in my thinking I’m willing to learn.
I hope I’m not coming off as argumentative, I’m just trying to ask questions, point out my position and learn.
Thank you
