SUPER LOW SOIL/ESS PH=5! -> How would you fix?

[CanadianHarvest]

Hi all.... Ive been having problems with my plants lately.....
Ive been posting on here a bunch and with everyones help.. we have figured it out..... PH Runoff of the Promix is 5!!!!!!!

woohoo:I FIgured it out!!!!!!!!!!! PH IS WAY TO LOW. i wasnt letting the water sit in the pots long enough before testing the run off. like i would just keep dumping untill i saw runoff. test it. and it was always the same as my IN ph. NOW><..... this time i watered soaked the pot. but no run off. came back in 20 mins and watered till run off. GUESS WHAT??????? ph in was 7............. ph out..............5 ... dun dun dun!!!!!!

Sooo how do i go about fixing this? do i flush with just plain h20 or do i add like a 1/4 strength?

I also have a fishtank.... because i have so many rocks and coral in there.... ph is like 8.

good aged water for a flush from the fish tank?

or 7.8 ph out of the tap. Thing is i will not be able to age it. ( not enough bottles) so it will have some clorine in it. Im growing with salt based ferts so microbs are a huge deal.


Thanks for all your help guys!!!!

Hey guys.... So Im reviving this post... Plants are starting to look a little funky. they are on day 2 of week 2 of flower, and i want to get this nipped in the but before it gets to bad.

3 gal pots with Promix HP 1 tbl spoon of dolmite lime per container
advanced nutes grow micro bloom @ 2ML/L grow 4ML/L micro and 5ML/L bloom.
They were hit with bud bloom to at the flip.
1 tsb of blackstrap molassase

FEED-WATER-WATER But sometimes i replace a water. with a worm casting tea + humic acids. Black diamond from Gerneral Organics

Under 2 400watt lights. 1 hps 1 mh bare bulb no reflector. ( to minimize heat)
temps 77-79
RH % 65%


So what do you guys see? I do have a specific problem in mind. but i just know somethings not right.


Thanks so much for lending your time to my garden.

Respect and love from Canadian Harvest

Water in slaked limestone. Use more nitrate for less acidity from nuts.

Don't worry about input pH...All that matters is output pH

Not enough bottles? Don't you have any 5gal plastic buckets? Kind of essential. -granger

I would simply transplant to 5 gallon containers....


but use more lime.....

Using 7.0 neutral to begin with is a good idea.....because it helps establish the direction of your ph.....


ONe thing I dont quite understand.....is how your promix is at 5.0


something sounds a little fishy to me......

Maybe a little nitrogen shortage? I would just foliar feed what you normally use to feed and see what happens. Maybe add some humics and molasses if you're feeding minerals. I dunno if adding molasses to the roots is a good thing if you're growing minerally, plants can't take the sugar and there's no beneficials to take it...
