Hey everyone,
I guess just more of a tip than anything... For those of us using foxfarm soils, I would recommend testing via a digital soil ph meter, soil slurry method etc. before use so you have an idea of your ph. FF advertises soil is "ready for use" and 6.3-6.8 ph on the bags but I have yet to see anything above 6.0 in my testing. I tested some ocean forest and happy frog today and was averaging 5.6-6.0ph between my soil slurry and bluelabs soil ph probe. I usually add 1 cup domolite lime/cuft and let that bake a few days + 25% perlite and that puts my FF soils right where I like them.
Did some soil testing today after soaking 10 gorrilla glue fem seeds from ILGM and a few other strains I had hanging around so figured I'd share my results. Maybe I'll start a grow journal for these ladies.
Take care and hope it helps someone!
