Hey buds...sorry to rehash a tired topic but I was looking for some advice in my situation...
I'm of the opinion that while the soil does "buffer" or "adjust" the ph for you, it does take some time and I rather ph my nute solution so there are no problems.
When I test my nute solution (roots organics + distilled water) I get a ph of around 4.0. So to solve this crisis I use Dyna-Gro Pro-Tekt which is liquid silica to raise the ph...which it does. Problem is that the serving size for pro-tekt is 1/4-1/2 tsp. and I'm using way more than this. I have also been reading that silica binds to calcium which may/may not cause problems for me down the road (none yet though).
Where does the organic section stand on silica usage in the flowering stage and the amount that I'm using?
Are their any better solutions to ph up my nute solution?
Bless.
