Nutes, pH

I've searched and read here and there, but it's not conclusive enough so here's my questions to you nute experts out there. I'm using foxfarm ocean forest soil, now in week 4 12-12. Pretty much following the nute chart for foxfarm. Currently Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Beastie Bloomz and considering using the others on the chart.

1) What effect does pH have on the plant besides death and what are the symptoms of a low and a high pH?
2) Bigger, better buds if it's just right? My plants look healthy and green and the buds are filling in. No yellow anywhere
3) But if the pH is off will I have smaller, airy buds or what?
4) Do I need to check and adjust the pH of my nute solution to around 6?
5) Whats the best/economical product to check pH?
6) Whats the best product for adjusting pH.

Thanks in advance fellow growers

I LIKE A HIGHER # IN P-K AND LESS N DURING FLOWER

1) What effect does pH have on the plant besides death and what are the symptoms of a low and a high pH?
LOOKS OUT THE ROOTS FROM ALL UPTAKE
2) Bigger, better buds if it's just right? My plants look healthy and green and the buds are filling in. No yellow anywhere THATS GOOD
3) But if the pH is off will I have smaller, airy buds or what? YES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO PULLUP ANY NUTES.
4) Do I need to check and adjust the pH of my nute solution to around 6?YES ALWAYS PH WHEN WATERING OR FEEDING, AND CHECKING THE PH IN THE RUNOUT
5) Whats the best/economical product to check pH?THE LIQUID TEST KITFROM GENERAL HYDROPONICS
6) Whats the best product for adjusting pH. PH UP AND DOWN

Thanks in advance fellow growers
GOOD LUCK :weed:

Whoa you did, thanks bro. I was at the hydroponic shop asking the same questions during lunch. She said if the plants are in soil it's not quite as critical as if they are in hydro. If the plants look healthy, then nutrients are being taken up and most likely the pH is fine. I'll still check it out for peace of mind. Thanks again

those wern't that bad. i answered them for you.:hump:
