What brand of water are u purchasing I have been buying Reverse osmosis water and mixing it 50 50 with tap water as ppm was too high in my tap water to just give it straight to the plantsChange your soil if its touching 8, if your plants are not to big get some soil that's got a more appropriate ph for growing weed. shake off as much of the old soil as you can without causing to much damage to the roots and repot em.
As for water, I buy big bottles of water with a ph of 6.4.
And I have tried lemon juice and vinegar but they're no good in the end, you need to add to much to bring the waters ph down, it causes more harm than good. Get a proper ph down or use different water in future
I don't use promix but if your soil ph is near on 8 I'd say it ain't no good, like @Aqua Man said maybe some or more peat in then mix could help.Soil I am using is pro mix hp with extra 20% perlite added is this soil not a good growing meduim?
Whats your tap water ppm. I use bottles called aqua puraWhat brand of water are u purchasing I have been buying Reverse osmosis water and mixing it 50 50 with tap water as ppm was too high in my tap water to just give it straight to the plants
And if left out it climbs to 750-850 ppmTested at 500 to 550 ppm
That's high! Where u from ? 120ish here in ldn, ph 7.2. I dint use it,I had fucked up ph so repotted n stopped using it from then, I've noticed the difference. when I can be bothered to get proper ph down though ill use the tap water, its easier and cheaper in long runTested at 500 to 550 ppm
I don't use promix but if your soil ph is near on 8 I'd say it ain't no good, like @Aqua Man said maybe some or more peat in then mix could help.
I dunno your situation right now with your plants but if you got any issues or deficiencies showing it'll only continue, if soil ph really is 8ish then I'd repot, correct the water and you'll notice improvements
Southern ontraioThat's high! Where u from ? 120ish here in ldn, ph 7.2. I dint use it, will do when I can be bothered to get proper ph down though
Are you saying i should flush that girl with straight ro water about 3 times more water then a regular feeding thrn go from thereYeah R/O is made for you dude. Probably a good flush with 3x the volume RO and start from there
Yes flush water through until you get 3x the run off of your normal feed. But better wait for a dirt guy to confirm. I'm a hydro grower and never need to flush. I'm betting your problems are ph related lockoutAre you saying i should flush that girl with straight ro water about 3 times more water then a regular feeding thrn go from there
Baking powder can be used to ph up and lemon juice can be used to ph downAre there any natural products I can add to water to lower the ph of my soil it is sitting around 7.7 pushing and closer to 8 at times I am mixing RO water( ph 7.0 )with city tap water (7.5 ph) 50/50 mix and I am using dutch nutes oganic gro 2.5ml/l
Baking soda... It's sodium bicarbonate for ph works well. Also you can buy calcium bicarbonate Which is better because the plants use the calcium (unlike sodium levels we try to keep down) and the bicarbonate acts as a pH up and buffer.Baking powder can be used to ph up and lemon juice can be used to ph down
