Organic Ph question

[slightlystoned]

Is there a natural way to control ph without using chemicals? Such as vinigar, baking soda or lemons as i have heard.

 

[Rolln J]

vinegar or lemons for down - baking soda for up - seriously when you posted this didnt you see all the other threads?

[slightlystoned]

buffer your soilmix with lots of dolomite lime, crushed oyster shells and bone meal!!!!

I use white vinegar on the rare occasion that I need to ph down.

For ph up, I have found that Borax holds the buffer better than baking soda.

thanks everyone. finally made it to the shop and got some earthjuice up and down. happy growing!:fixed:

 

[Doobie Nyce]

yeah earth juice citric acid is the shiz

 

[sedate]

Citric acid, by itself, is a rather poor ph downer - its breakdown in soil is pretty quick and your ph will return to equilibrium with 24 hours - use a real ph downer like the EarthJuice you got for effective ph control.

If you use a good organic medium, and distilled water you should never have a problem.

Gramps,
thats all I can afford right now (WHITE VINEGAR) check my ph before any release of any water in my tray. Good luck so far......:sun2:also WTH: I'm going 2 add lemon a couple X's to lower my Ph also. Then I heard & might try to foliage feed with Honey? idk???:character0025:
