my ph is 7 -7.5 in the soil in 5 gallon buckets,so i watered with a gallon of water at 6.5 the other day and today i watered with 2 gallons at 6.2 and a good gallon came out the bottom but i just checked the soil is still over 7 what do i need to do? thanks

How are your plants reacting to the PH?
If you smoke a lot of weed, save your ashes, and regularily use them with your water, I don't really know how much per say, and 5 gal buckets are large. But if it were me i"d layer the top and water them in.

There are many other ways to lower PH. I'm just not fluent on using them. There's lots of answeres here tho,

Generally speaking in a soil grow you do not have to Ph your water. If your tap water is good enough for human consumption, then it's good enough for your plant. Ph'ing water in a soil grow is one thing to not worry about. My water is 8 right out of the tap. No problems. Nobody I know in the state of Ca Ph's any water in a soil grow.

they were looking real bad thats why i am trying fix it. i think there looking better after 2 days of lower ph water .should i do 2 gallons at 6.0 when they need water again? i don't want to mess them up any more thats why i was trying to fix them with 6.5 water but if the soil is just raising the ph can i fight it with lower ph water?

Free your mind of the soil Ph game.

my water is high off the chart and i noticed all my plants not looking to great,i'm getting light green and yellow on new and old leaves i tested my soil everything was great except the ph and the n2 was high. that's why i let a gallon run right through the bucket to wash some of it out.

ok what should i be looking at?for the most part they look good but i have bad spots and a lot of the new lower growth died? can it be the high n2? thanks for the help.

i have also had a real run of bad luck with seedlings i have had a ton die lately? i was thinking that might be the water too?

I live in Ca...I grow in soil...and I pH ALL water that goes on my plants

How are you testing the soil pH? If you are using one of those probes...they are junk!...pH your water and maybe if there is a little run-off check it to make sure it is not way off what you are watering.

Also My plants prefer to stay below 6.4 (closer to 6 the better)...my water and nutes would like to be 6.6
