i recently transeplanted my girl into a new pot and it was doing awesome for a day. then i noticed some yellowing of the upper leaves and i checked the ph and it was at 8.5 . now i need to get it back down. my soiless mix contains lime but its being a whore and not doing its job.

So.....my question is i have already put her in a new pot now how do i get the PH lower?

hello,

Im far from a pro, but ive heard that lowering your ph like to 4.0-4.5 will adjust the PH eventually. bring it down. But you might want to second that.
Hope that helped a little.

Thanks,

no that didnt answer my question at all

you need ph down from your local hydro store,, its only about 10 to 12 dollars, but you need it,, eventually, before its too late,, there is other stuff to try but,, there is no substitute for this,,, its gotta be done...

i live in montana where we have no hydro stores. is thier something else

ok, I used to live in kalispel,, and I know that there are at least pool stores, if not hydro stores by now,, pool stores will have ph down,, there you go,, not sure where your at but I spent some time in misoula, or however its spelt, Im a little baked for spelling, but you know what im sayin.........

wow no shit .i would tell you what city i live in but i am growing. lol ne way thanks for the advice i will try that tommorow.

beleive me,, I dont want to know shit about you,, just have a good grow, and show some good pics when your ready,, it is what its about..sol good...

Different people have different favorite solutions to this problem. Try this idea: get a jug of plain white vinegar. Drop a couple capfuls into your water. Circulate the system, and repeat the process, till it comes down to about 6 ph. Other simple additives (like lemon juice) may not work very well for several reasons. White vinegar in low doses seems OK to me.
