Hi everyone newbe here. Wanted to get opinions on how I can get my soil PH back up as fast as possible?
I bought 12 mother plants from a local farm. They are 3-4ft tall in 7gal pots with I think a pro mix medium. I’ve had them two weeks. I noticed I’m getting a lot of yellow leafs, at first I thought stress from the move or nitrogen deficiency. I give them a double dose of Bio Thrive but no luck.
The more I’ve been reading on here I got concerned that I was in nut lockout. So I tested my run off. 6.5 going in come out 5-5.5!
The run off was also a brown color which I read was not good. I have not preformed a slurry test yet.
That being said I think I might have figured out why my ph is so low. I was using the drops to test. Thought I was giving 6.5 but I got a pen and it’s showing low 5’s. So I have been feeding with way too low ph. Plus don’t know what the guys I purchased the plants from we’re doing.
What would y’all recommend I do to get my ph back up ASAP?? I don’t wanna lose these ladies!! Also wanted to let you know I’ve been dealing with fungus gnats, which also come with plants. Been using Gnatrol as recommended by guy at hydro store.
