Does anyone here use recharge?
I ask because I am having some serious pH issues in my organic soil grow. It seems after using recharge my pH of soil has dropped to 5.3. This is causing some serious phosphorus issues among others. Then again it might be something completely different, I am super new at organic growing.
The water i was using was 6.8, 240ppm measured with bluelab meter, so i thought I was good this whole time. If anything i figured my pH would be high. I was wrong!
My soil is 50/50 ocean forest and happy frog with perlite. I added the mixture into a tote and added Kelp Meal, DTE 4-4-4, Dr. Earth 3-9-4, Fish Bone Meal, and EWC. I cooked it for a few months and it was teaming with microbes.
I didnt do a control with no recharge so im not sure if its my soil mixture being to acidic or if its the recharge?
