So, I have a question about dry fertilizer, liquid fertilizer and pH in the water.
When adding liquid or dry fertilizer and also trying to pH the water what should you do?
Should you pH the water first?
I've been using lemon juice to pH my water down to about 6.35 and that seems to work really well.
However when it comes to adding the fertilizer wouldn't that also adjust the pH?
Now going to alternate each week between a dry and liquid fertilizer.
My liquid fertilizer is a doctor Earth 111
o
The the other fertilizer I have is an EB Organics 462 dry fertilizer sure start.
But I have also noticed that when adding fertilizer the amount that you add definitely changes the pH to way lower than 6.35, based on the amount that they're telling you to add (I've been using half of what you're supposed to use for now, since my plants are still young)
I mean obviously when I don't fertilize I have the pH where it should be when it comes to just using water.
So how do I factor in fertilizer?
How do I still maintain the pH while adding the right amount of fertilizer?
