hi . the past week i notice that my soil ph is going over 7 steadily . even though i water at 6.1 ph to counter that it seems that its not coming down. is there any other way to drop it to normal levels? are there multiple ways to do that ? please let me know. thank you all
What is causing it to drift up like that? Can you tell us what is in your soil, what nutrients you use, and how you check pH?
ok this posty is connected with previous posts that i made but i thought of creating a new post with a question to helkp others that might be searching for the same problem. so i use biobizz light mix and all mix with advanced nutrients. the problem is that after i started checking the ppm of the runoffs i saw huge numbers and in my panic (first time passionate grower lol) i decided to flash big time. from my research i found out (correct me if wrong) that when you flush organic soil you wash out all the microorganisms of the soil so they cant regulate the ph anymore so you have ph drifts mostly to the up side. so i learned my lesson the hard way . but now im left with stunned growth plants and more than 7 ph. i ll be gratefull if you give me some instructions. btw thank you for all your videos i consider you serious and watched almost everything you have created .
Yeah flushing organic soil like that does more harm than good. You've flushed out both nutrients and microbes. I'm surprised you flushed when in the other thread I included that video that talks about organically-amended soils. If you just flushed, give it some time. Wait until the soil dries out before watering again. Adding more water now can lead to over-watering problems :(
yes . you know how it is im putting all the pieces of the puzzle in order slowly slowly with many errors on the way . too much info but not yet settled in my brain . but i will get there.... thank you for all your help
I grow organic and have never flushed, ever.. and my stuff turns out great every time.
