quick ph help

Ok heres the issue my waters ph reads 8.4 sooooooo i just figured this out a couple days ago i was watering with a little vinager and water solution to lower the ph which it Did But only for a little bit (like a day by the time u get up the ph is back up to 8.0-8.4 again) so i went out and bought ph up and down, ive made up a batch of water ph'ed at about 6.2-6.4 my question is if my dirt reads 8.4 what should my water b to equal my dirt back to 6.5 hell ill even do 7.0 right Now, strain is sannies sugar punch. ANY HELP would b greatly appericated any questions feel free to ask

Get ph down or sulfuric acid and make ur own. Be careful when making it. Add the acid 2 the water. Never the water to acid it will explode.

I bought ph down, i was just wondering what i would average my water out to lower my dirt soil

Soil likes a ph in between 6.0-6.5 bro.

That i do know my water was reading 8.4 before i knew to check it, so i was watering with an 8.4 water ph, which drove my dirt from 7.0 to 8.4 Now im tryn to figure out what i would make my water to lower my dirt to an aceptable level before it really screws things up i was figureing if i watered my soil with 6.2 water that would hopefully lower the dirt to a 7.4 or so then after that watering id water it again with another 6.2-6.4 water solution and hopefully that would drop the dirt to a confortable 6.7 or lower

I would flush with ph at 5.5 or 5.8 that should bring it down. That is the ph of rain water.

Thanks boss that should help me out

No problem bro! Glad I could help ya.

Agreed.
Flush with several times the volume of your pot, then let it dry out again, and next time you water, use properly PH'ed water.

I just wanted to say thanks guys since we talked a couple days ago the new growth looks amazing no more burning and has started to grow again, im thinkn gonna start flowering in a week or 5 days they've been veg for about 4 weeks and i know sannie says 2 for more But i only had 3 so i figured id wait 2extra weeks so im figuring this weekend..... But Thanks for the help heres so close up of my babies Thanks again for.the help ill b posting a few pics once they start to flower. Oh yeah once i got ph down in water to about 6.4-6.8 and flushed the dirt ph droped, one is about 6.0 the second one is 6.5 and the thrid one bounces from 6.5-7.0 and the last few days they've started to grow real nicely again and they stink when u open the tent........
I could've screamed like a 16 year old on prom night when they started to sprout and grow new leaves not burnt LOL THANKS AGAIN GUYS

sounds like you have a ppm problem. get a ppm tester, anything over 180 ppm is extremely hard and most likely the cause of your problem. if that is the case a diy reverse osmosis setup like the mr clean spotless carwash setup would get you to a ppm of between 6-15. after that vinegar will be more than acidic enough to ph with saving money in the short and longterm

Thanks man, I really don't know where I could pick something like that up, I went to Walmart and was gonna buy those self flitters for your water till I read it takes away the minerals and stuff ur pretty girls need to survive. Do u know where u could pick one up ace hardware, lowes, home depo ect.......... Would greatly appericate it

look online but it is discontinued sadly to say it was one of the cheapest r/o filters ever. thy make stove top distillation filters but that can be cumbersome so your best bet is a home made filter for now til you or i can find a better alternative to start cut a 2 liter bottle width wise close to the bottom as possible, cut another 2 liter at the top of it and the bottom so it makes a straight cylinder so that your removing the parts of it that taper and set that aside for now, put a coffee filter at the bottom of the first bottle you cut and put 2 inches of activated carbon on it. make sure the filter is secured you can use a hot glue gun or even duct tape. add 2 inches of sand and then add 1 inch of gravel. this way it will flow better and catch larger particles no rest it so its mouth( where the filter is) is sitting in a chines food soup container qt size and drill a hole almost at the bottom of the soup container, big enough to secure a piece of flexible tubing to. duct tape or hot glue 2 liter bottle to chinese food soup container and insert flexible tube so its flush with the inside of container. note hole needs to be tight so its hard to push into the soup container but not too tight as to warp the tube and cut off water flow. attach set asided cylinder from 2 liter bottle and attach to top of 2 liter with cylinder run length of flexibel tubing to a suitable water storage container and add water to the top of the filter till it is 3/4 full. wait a long time and you have filtered water for the price of a container of carbon. around 4 $. this isnt the best way but its generall y how waste management filters are albeit with more membranes to pass through the onyl membrane in this setup is the coffee filter. you can also use a rubber made container and cut a hole in it so the 2 liter filter rests in it without falling through which sounds like a better idea than a top heavy filter setup. i havent heard many good things from faucet filters but if you can look around and find one thats under 60$ with filters that are cheap and gets your ppm below 60 youd be in good shape
