How do I raise the ph level in my soil

THCMonster · May 15, 2020

Dolomite lime, oyster shell, kelp meal, potash, algae extracts.

All these are good products for raising soil PH.

Becareful using too much of the same product though because excess nutrients can leach out depending on the type of amendment being used.

Also i would highly recommend getting a PH meter (even if its a cheap one, as long as its able to be calibrated).

Those color drop tests are horribly inaccurate!

Really, thanks for the advice will definitely get one 2ma. The capsules where a high price so I though maybe it was a better choice

The only downside with those is that as the liquid drops or capsules age their effectiveness goes down dramatically, and you have no idea how long they been sitting around for before you got them!

I will admit though, they could be accurate as of right now, but there's no real way to know.

Nothing bets a PH pen that is capable of being calibrated, because as long as you calibrate it right its always accurate! And it will stay accurate as long as you keep up with the calibration. (Most PH meters that are able to be calibrated dont come with the calibration solution, you have to buy that separately, but it lasts a long time)

I wouldn't recommend either of these two products for a quick cheap PH soil tester unless there's someone on here familiar with them that says otherwise I think they lie.. and have left me scratching my head in wonder

Are these available in stores

Amazon has tons of good, cheap pens you can calibrate. They also have very expensive ones lol

This one is really cheap but also capable of being calibrated, if you are looking for a cheap but accurate one i would highly recommend this. The only downside is that you have to buy the calibration solution separately.

Can I swear on here?!:'*%©™✓... Okay I got it all out of my system...that's a great deal compared to the pictures that I posted in this thread it's less than half the cost of the orange one and a third of the cost of the green one and they suck.... Had to throw that in there.... Carry on

Lilly soil sweet is the shit. Apply sparingly, water in, wait a day, measure.
