im using Earth juice and after brewing, it has a ph about 4. Now i have Ocean Forest soil, it has Oyster shells to help ph. From what ive read, there should be lime or dolomite lime to help stabilize the ph.
Is the oyster shell just a better organic product ???

Halzey68.... The pH of your nutes is a little low (acidic). It's easy to correct, just drop two teaspoons of dolimite lime into your nute mix. Let is sit overnight or bubble overnight. Check you pH, it should bring it up to around 5.8 to 6.1 If, the pH is still below 5.8, repeat the process, but only use one teaspoon of dolimite lime this time.
.
Once you hit 5.8 to 6.1 you are there. Water in you feed mix, just like you always do. The Ocean Forest Soil, is top notch stuff. I do agree with adding 20 to 25 percent pertilite to it. Oyster shells are just another organic amendment, similar in action to dolimite lime. Both will get the job done and don't cost much. Some people prefer one, some the other.

Hope this helps....
Keep it Real.....Organic......
