Hello everyone,
I warmed up a bit more then a litre of water and added about 1.5 tbsp of mollasess. I then mixed it and cooled it, then i added about a litre of this mix to 10l can of pure water and i also added some fertilizer, which is 10-50-10(I'm in 3rd week of flowering), i only added about 50% of what it states per 10l. Before that i checked water ph. My digital ph is cheap one, and not currently calibrated, it showed 6.4, but i also tested with aquarium test, it showed around 6.8, which i think is correct. But becouse of mollasses coloring water aquarium ph meter is not usable anymore... I did try with uncalibrated digital meter i mentioned before, and it showed 5.4-5.5 .. So i was adding lime, becouse i don't have a pH up thing.. I was just adding it and measuring, but it was a lot of lime to get it to 6.1, so i left it there. I know i shouldn't relay on that pH meter but what do you guys think??
I also mixed the soil with lime on beginning, as it's supposed to neutralize the pH, and so far it is all great, i don't want to ruin my grow. I did give them a shot of that mix, and i will also attach photo of water, or whatever that is
Please tell me what do you guys think, am i doing it wrong? I never messed with pH much, but it showed out in past i should sometimes..
