you dug up a corpse... the problem should have been solved if i use rainwater, the ph value will change very easily... it doesn't have a buffer itself... it adapts to the medium with the greater buffering effect.
you cannot influence the buffer effect of the medium with rainwater. it's like a flag in the wind... if the medium is acidic, the added water in the pot becomes acidic and alkaline the same. the longer you work with rainwater, the more the medium itself loses its buffering effect because the calcium and magnesium content decreases.
in order to prevent this, it has proven useful to adjust the irrigation water with cannabis to an ec value of 0.45 with a cal/mag ratio of 3 to 1 and the provision of all trace elements. cal/mag alone only solves part of the task... the trace elements do the rest. these values are when growing cannabis... no matter in which medium... the values that have been recommended as the best for a starting water.
whoever works with such water... adheres to a reasonable scheme adapted to his medium and his own environmental conditions... will never get to know pictures like those found here in the threat.
