Second Grow need to adjust PH levels.

MickBastard said:

What’s going on everyone? I’m on my second organic grow. Can someone tell me how to lower my PH? Honestly I never check the PH of my last grow. Not 1 time. I smoked the harvest of my last grow and I was faded for like 6 hours. I’ve been reading, watching videos, asking questions and I’m trying to educate myself. Now I’m obsessed with the damn PH levels of my plants. I can’t get the levels below 7. They stay at 7 no matter what. I’m not trying to drop them a shit ton. I just want to drop them to like 6.5 maybe. Would that even make a difference?

You likely put dolomite lime (Calcium Carbonate) in your soil, or it was already pre-mixed in as a buffer for the peat moss.

The sole purpose of a liming agent (Dolomite Lime) is to "buffer" your pH, as in permanently keep your pH at exactly 7. It would take a LOT to drop the soil's pH if you're competing with a buffering agent such as Dolomite Lime.



That said, and please don't take this the wrong way, you clearly grew some dank ass weed if you've been spending this long tripping on your pH.

Don't fall into the common trap that most of us (myself included) do when we finally experience success, don't make unnecessary changes and fuck things up.

Simplicity friend. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

To be honest I used an organic soil base. I didn’t add any nutrients until week 4 of vegetation. Then I added a half of a table spoon of Alaskan fish fertilizer. I also added worm castings as a top dressing and I have watered 2 times with banana water fertilizer. Basically it’s water that has has banana peels soaking in it for a few days. I forgot to mention when I dressed the top with worm castings I also work in coffee grounds and egg shells and a light sprinkle of blood and bone meal. That’s all I used. Thanks for your advice. I appreciate upfront advice. Let me add a pic. I do have I think a bit of lighy burn that maybe have started over las free days
