So I've recently been working on dialing in the PH for my indoor soil grow . Which is actually a lot harder than I thought it would be. Most likely because i used a peat pod to start my seed in and as we all know peat is acidic AF and they're not great starters for cannabis plants.
- Anyway, I've been testing my runoff to see what my water is coming out of the pot at and it's coming out 1-1.5 lower than what I put in. I typically PH down to 6.0-6.5 and the run off is coming out at a 5.0-5.5. Is this a problem? If so, how do i fix it? The acidity from the peat shouldn't last much longer.
- Should I leave my water PH'ed a little high so that when it passes through the soil its coming out on point? The plants don't seem to be showing any signs of stress and at about 14-18 days old (from seed) are already about 4 nodes tall with big beautifully green fan leaves and just beginning to start branch growth.
- I don't have a digital meter and the color chart isn't all that accurate but its obvious that the water is going in yellow and coming out a yellowish orange
