pH in soil

[calibeto]

So I wanna know how too correct the PH in my soil. I mixed my nutes and supplement and I tested it. It came out too be 6.8 in a gallon mix. Then the run off was 7.0 .So should I bring the pH down in the gallon mix then try it or what?! Thanks.

in soil you should be fine

Weed loves a pH between 6.5 to 7.0 so you should be fine. Did you mix in any powdered Dolomite with your nutes? That keeps the pH under control and is a good source of Calcium and Magnesium. If the plants ever get nute locked from the wrong pH you can use the hydro pH up or pH down in soil but very sparingly. It only takes a drop or two in a quart of water.

If the run-off is 7 and starting is 6.8 maybe try to get starting around 6.3-6.4 so that way you're plants can get the full range of nutrients thru all the PH's upto to 7 a little better.

6.3 - 6.8 for soil. Don't worry about runoff that much unless you are troubleshooting a problem.
