I'm saying that soil is a powerful buffer and folks fritter over pH values too much, especially when it comes to their water's pH value.
I have heard this pH bullshit for 10 years, so I decided years ago I was going to conduct my own experiment. I took water adjusted to values of say.....4.5 and 9.2 and drenched pots of typical organic soil. Let it sit, and then tested the runoff. The only affect was short term. The long term affect, like an hour after watering, was negligible. This doesn't even address the baloney "lockouts" folk talk about.
Bottom line? Folks need to learn what makes a plant tick and stop placing blame on insignificant crap like pH. Cannabis is a pH tolerant plant when it comes to nutrient uptake. Wean yourself off the charts, and grow some plants people.
