Hi guys, I'm a new grower, as a matter of fact i'm on my first grow. I'm using Roots Organic soil, i've been trying to find out whether or not I should be PHing my water and my feed. As a completely new grower, I didn't truly understand what it meant to be Organic, I just wanted to grow some cannabis and heard Roots Organic was great soil. After doing alot of reading about Organic growing, I'm starting to understand some of it.
There are still a ton of things that confuse me, like whether you should PH your feed/water. I'm getting mixed reviews, some say yes you must absolutely PH your water and your feed. I've been doing this, using PH up and down with Roots Organic soil. Then I read elsewhere that using PH up and down with organic soil is very bad, as it kills the microorganisms in your soil.
What exactly should I be doing here? My tap water which sits out for a few days to become dechloronated runs up to around 7.8-8 PH. Alot of orgranic growers are saying the microbes will adjust the solution.
I'm about 35-40 days in on my first grow and have been using PH up and down religiously to adjust my alk tap water and acidic nute feed.
