... And do you ph your solution before feeding your plants? The 6.5 is what I want to shoot for. Does adding a 6.5 solution eventually bring your soil to that level? FF ocean forest here... JG

| Email from fox farm one day said mixing bone dry soil with distilled water is best. I cant remember exact amounts of each. Sorry. Id do a few tablespoons, then just slighty more water than soil. Let sit half an hour, test that water with a meter. Thats what fox farm said. Agin, not sure on amounts. I grow organic, and dont check/adjust mine. My water is 5.5, and 5.0 most of the time with my nutrient teas. They do not get adjusted. | ||

into my new bag of FoxFarms Ocean Forest...6.2 I don't worry about ph unless I have a significant problem soil has so much buffering....I've never been able to alter it too much I check the 1st batch of nutes for ph if I continue to feed the same mixture...I don't check batch 2 if batch 1 was within range most of my nutes tend to drop the ph I only worry about pH in my hydro nightmares

| How hard is the water you're using? hard tap like mine will add buffering to the soil raising the ph I use R/o in potted plants and I have less problems
