PH ? for potted plants in soil

Hi all! Im currently growing some Sour Diesel beauties in FFOF. They are showing signs of ph problems so I tested the run off and sure enough they are low about 5.5 avg. My question is can I raise the ph by simply watering with higher ph water? Slowly or just spike it with like an 8.0 ph? Thanks in advance!!!

I'd probably flush it with 6.8 or so phed water till my runoff was near that.

A contiuous flush? I've never done that. How do I do that?

Flush it with 3 times your pot size in water.. ie 1 gal pot 3 gal water. or check your runoff after each gal or two and when you are happy with it stop

Add "Finely granulated dolomite lime" to your soil mix..

It will keep your ph in check throughout your grow

Do you put that in your fox farms soils also Closet? I havent finished your journal yet, but I saw you had used it at some point.

I dont use fox farm soils..

When I grow from soil, I use a special soil mixture that i buy at a hydro shop here in town.. its name "special soil mixture" seriously. hahaha!

Then i add the finely granulated Dolomite lime to theat mixture

are you testing ph of water and nutes before you add them or just after

after would not be as important if you do before

i ph everthing beforeo to about 6.5 i have never phd runoff and i use same soil as you

never had a problem


good luck 1 love

I test before and after. 6.5 -7.0
