Hi all,
Currently using Sunshine #4 right out of the bag as the medium. A soil ph meter is used and the needle is leaning towards 8. This usually happens when the plants are watered. Within a couple of days the needle moves towards 7. Either the well water's ph is out of whack or the meter is not working properly. I think the water's ph is out of whack. What can be done to lower the ph of the water before the plants are watered? Is using GH's ph up and down(normally used for hydroponics) ok for soil use?
About the grow:
What was done today:
There is a gallon of water with BMO Super Plant Tonic and BMO Foliar Harmony(NPK: 2-4-2) bubbling for 2 days. Today 8oz of BMO compost tea was fed to each of those plants. The plants are about a week and a half old. I hope that wasn't too much nutrients being fed to the plants and hope they aren't to young. Feeding the plants was an attempt to lower the ph by using compost tea.
