Use the search engine to find Peter's "Jack's Classic" ferts. You'll even find the addy from which to order.

Check the PH of your soil. 7.0 is fine for a soil grow.

Hi Blow...

IF you are growing in soil, Your PH of your water should be 6.5 - 7.0... you need to make you water/nutrient mixture and then adjust the PH of the entire mixture..

cheers
 
:joint: Thanks all... don't have away of checking the soil ph but think it should be ok goining to flush now all the plants and see what happens in the next couple of days...

is there a way of checking the soil ph with the liquied tester... you now the drops kind???

thanks again all...:joint:

You can go to your local nursery and by a PH tester that is intended for use in soil. They look pretty much like a moisture meter, but they cost a little more. In fact, you can buy an all-in-one tester that will measure both moisture and PH.

you dont need to check the soil, just make sure the PH of the water in the rez is 6.5 - 7.0. You can use the drops (which suck ass), the strips (which suck slighty less ass), or the PH pen.. or of course the tri-meter (measures PH, PPM, and Temp), which i strongly recommend.
 
i think the ph should be lower, i use a ph of between 5-5.5, what happens is that when you get salt buildup in the dirt the salts raise the ph...which in turn means the water your adding with a ph of say 6.8 comes out the bottom of the pot at 8 or more, i know this because that was a major problem for me at first, so what i do is if im mixing up a thick nute solution ill add a few extra drops of ph down
 
Back in the day...before I went hydro.........we would test soil Ph by watering, allow to sit overnight, scoop out a handful of soil, squeeze the water out and test that......with drops, paper or electronic meter....It's probably not dead accurate, but it's close enough.....shoot for 6.5-7 Ph and all should be fine.......salt buildup shouldn't be an issue if you flush regularly and fertilize lightly.....
Best of luck.
