Depending on the soil it should buffer on its own just fine.What range for pH growing in soil. My tap water is reading 7.7. If this is two high how is the natural organic way of dropping it. Thanks
I’m using this soilDepending on the soil it should buffer on its own just fine.
Oh boy hopefully you got a good batch they’re very inconsistent. But you won’t have to ph with it just water.I’m using this soil
Oh are they? I have never used it before had just read good reviews on so I pulled the trigger on it. Does it usually lack nutrients?Oh boy hopefully you got a good batch they’re very inconsistent. But you won’t have to ph with it just water.
When looking for information on a product the first place to start is with the product website. They say to keep the pH range between 6 and 6.5 which I don't think you need to do because the ingredients are nothing that's not in any other organic soil.I’m using this soil
6-7. Optimal 6.5.What range for pH growing in soil. My tap water is reading 7.7. If this is two high how is the natural organic way of dropping it. Thanks
Are you saying don't waste time on even testing the PH levels for living soil?Living soil don’t ph. It’s just one more thing to waste your time and money on. Feed the microbes and bacteria.
If you have an accurate soil pen by all means test away. I’m saying the microbes will take care of everything ph related as long as things are on point.Are you saying don't waste time on even testing the PH levels for living soil?
that's good to note, I'm using Gaia all purpose live soil organic when it's time to transplant into veg. This soil should take care of itself. thanksIf you have an accurate soil pen by all means test away. I’m saying the microbes will take care of everything ph related as long as things are on point.
pH what's going in, not what the soil is doing. Unless you have an accurate soil pH pen.Are you saying don't waste time on even testing the PH levels for living soil?
I tested the water from the tap and it was reading 7.7 is that high?pH what's going in, not what the soil is doing. Unless you have an accurate soil pH pen.
Do you adjust that down or leave it when watering?Mine is over 8
I don't do soil but the recommended range is 6-7. Others will say the soil and microbes will self adjust but I'd make sure it was lower.I tested the water from the tap and it was reading 7.7 is that high?
Dirty soil growers...Mine is over 8
What the best organic way to lower it?I don't do soil but the recommended range is 6-7. Others will say the soil and microbes will self adjust but I'd make sure it was lower.
I leave it. There’s literally no need for it. The microbes will bring that down. Plus topping with Gaia green I’m sure it has some ph stabilizers in it.Do you adjust that down or leave it when watering?
