Yeah i always ph after mixing my nutes. But i was wondering if most people do or do not PHingI always PH my water to 6.5 in soil because I have high alkalinity in my water. Be sure you PH your water after mixing in your nutrients.
So you have grown with biobizz and ph and not ph your water/feed?Yes bio bizz is great Less money can always be spent though though same affect. Just more effort is required.
I reference my own journal.
In case i do not really need that extra step with the ph pen. But now i have a clone that will get No PHing what so ever.I am using BioBizz LightMix. I did my first 2 runs without pH-ing but then I bought a pH meter and began measuring. My water has a pH of around 8, and with nutes ( grow-bloom-topmax ) it goes down to about 7. Still too much tho, so I bought pH Down and got it from 6.3 to 6.5.
Idk, I like to be precise. Maybe the soil can buffer the pH but why make it work, when I can give it correct pH from the beginning?
Well this is not working out the way i thought it would go
So out of my 5 clones i decided to take 1 and not PHing the water nor the feed mix and see for my self.... Just watered so will se whats up in a few weeks.
Nice experiment, can't wait to see the results!In case i do not really need that extra step with the ph pen. But now i have a clone that will get No PHing what so ever.
As I saw stated on one of the nutrients I've tried, it said that for better brake down of the substance when mixing it you should Ph it before adding the nute. I guess it makes sense since the elements in nutes react to ph values. I personally use them before mixing, I mean it can't do any harm and that information on the bottle kinda made sense to me. A heads up, my nute for example also gives a 0.3 ph down when using, so I ph the water at 6.5 then add the nute mix it and pops it at 6.3. That's my 2 cents on what I picked up along my journey. Good luck!Question: Do you PHing your water with or without nutes before watering in Allmix soil?
(biobizz nutes and biobizz Allmix)
So tired of the of many hours on interweb about this topic.
