ph balancing

So I’ve been trying to test my soil ph and it’s driving me insane. I have a cheap soil probe that doesn’t really work. I stab it into the soil, it flickers like 7.4 or 7.8, then flips back to 7.0. I even just pulled some soil out, added distilled water, and tried it. Didn’t even read.. just...

hi there, anybody know a good, cheap organic way to lower ph? Any advice appreciated RW :peace:

So, today I'd like to ask a few questions regarding brands of nutrient meters and how reliable/accurate they are. I've found a few options I thought could work well based on reviews, but any confirmation on these would be nice. 1. Bluelabs TRUNCOMV2 commercial truncheon nutrient meter...

ok so, my plant has been doing well. I’m flower I’m at the 4th week right now and I just checked the runoff and it’s acidic as hell. Do I just flush it while the soil is still wet? Or during next feeding should I just ph water to a 7.5 or 8 to try and balance out everything . Please help idk...

Hello guys I'm a new grower and I'm having some problems with an autoflower that's mid bloom. I grow with Plagron all grow soil and use Bio Bizz nutes. My plant is showing signs of nutrient deficiency (yellowing leaves, purple edges) but also shows signs of over feeding (burned tips of...

Ive look online for the answer but it seems everyone has a different read on yellowing leaves during flowering. Some say its root lock. Some say not enough Nitrogen. Others say a pH issue. Some say its normal during the flowering stage for leaves to turn yellow. What are some opinions and why...

First time posting. I learned everything I know from all of you here and the more i learn and apply the more I love watching my cannabis grow. It really is an incredible plant, such controversy and politics attached to it...and that's not its nature! So here is my set up. 3 42watt 6750k cfl 2...

Hey everyone. I have been adding unsulphured molasses to my bloom nutes and have been having some issues that I suspect are a result of adding it in with the botanicare pro soil line up. The issues I'm referring to are: ph will continue to creep up nearly a whole point over 24-48 hours, using...

Hi All. I'm having issues with botanicare pro soil line up. I have it set up with a circulation pump. Make sure everything is mixed thoroughly. Tweak ph to 6.3. But over a few days the ph starts to climb. It hasn't caused any obvious signs to the plants but must have an effect somewhere in the...

Hey all, I've been trying for weeks to figure out what is causing the ph in my res to constantly rise and after about 10 different tests on water at every stage in the system I've narrowed it down to the medium and/or something in the bucket with it. Just to let people know it is a 4 bucket...
