Explain me why they need 5ph on soil cause as far as I know plants absorb nutrients on soil at Best when ph is 6-7

 

[FABISBACK]

where u read that ?

 

[FABISBACK]

OK I cant help you

 

[FABISBACK]

Do it your way

The correct ph for soil is between 6 and 7 ideally it is 6.3.
This is quite common knowledge.

... where u read that ? ...

From other soil growers who recommend between 6 and 7. I have had very good success with the water at 6.5 - 6.8 pH growing in soil.

Lemon juice or vinegar will work in a pinch. But it took me 1 - 2 tablespoons to reduce the pH using white vinegar. That couldn't be good considering I use that same white vinegar for removing weeds from between the patio stones.

Switched from vinegar to 18% phosphoric acid (pH down) and I would recommend that switch also. About 4 - 5 ml (~1 tsp.) of 18% phosphoric acid in an imperial gallon drops the pH from 8.2 down to 6.7.

Yeah but I guess that plants dont like ph down even if it is on small dosages

Think you plants look good mate good work for your first run keep up the good work and good luck with rest of your grow every days a school day

Hmmm ... I don't think either of my girls got that memo. Having zero issues with H3PO4. Acetic and citric acids do not maintain that lower pH for a very long period.

Do it your way

he's right dude...you don't ph soil grows that low

I swear, there is a group of anti cannabis radicals infiltrating the forums, waging a disinformation campaign, to sabotage the success rate for new growers.
