well, those people that say you dont need to bother with pH may well have a water source that is nearer 6 or 7
Yep that would be me..

I can't tell you what others are doing that requires them to monitor pH regularly (except for VerdantGreen... homie has tap water with a pH of 9). I can only tell you what I do and that I do it without a pH meter. If you want my soil mix and feeding regimen, hit me up.
In one short sentence, you are everything wrong with this site.
People like you with very little real life experience, but have read lots, shouting off nonsense and crap as facts...
Then making recommendations to others? WTF
Then trying to post here like you know more than Tom?
You just don't get it. Your plants may grow okay, but I want my plants perfect, I want a gram per watt everytime. I want quality.
Me too.....are we lucky?Yep that would be me..
How did Jesus check his ph?....you know that guy grew herbs.
EDIT: Probably used non-chlorinated well water...ya' think?
John 15: 1-6
I am the true vine, my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear fruit. ... I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from him you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the blades are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned
how does one check ph again? i cant even remember lol
Me too.....are we lucky?
I don't even know where my meter is anymore.
You take off the cap, batteries are dead cuz you left it on, find fresh batteries. Swirl in water..uh oh it's 7.2 that's like not in the right range man...add a couple drops of ph down....ahhh fuck 6.2?? I must have put too much...dilute with water....dammit 6.4? I f$%@in dumped half out!....add ph up? throw pen in trash...smoke a bowl and forget the trauma.
Chasing the perfect 'PH' is a fool's errand in an organic soil paradigm.
Having said that, I'm in the minority in the lexicon of growing cannabis. The so-called 'PH' deal is a hold-over from the goober hydroponic processes. A process completely lacking in understanding on how organic macro and micro nutrients are assimilated via the soil foodweb.
Some stupidity refuses to die regardless of any real science but again, my observations are in the minority by those who live and die by the perfect 'PH' deal.
Having met the man in person he doesn't look like what you'd think God would look like.....lol. I've learned a lot from CC and have to say that he is also a very giving person and always willing to help someone who isn't a complete asshole...he always kicks me bags of this and that for amending my soil mix...as well as kicking down other thingsAbsolute. CC is God. Potential Hydrogen = pH
