Hey guys! First time grower here. I’m growing in soil and there’s a pH problem I can’t get rid of. Soil pH has been too high which caused me all sorts of problems. Slow grow, leaves curled up, bronze stains, yellow lower leaves, weak new leaves tearing themselves apart, cork-like stem, you name it.
I’ve been trying to fix this now by watering my plants with low pH water but when I measure pH of the runoff, it doesn’t seem to change at all. Last time I watered them a few days ago with 5.5 pH water, runoff pH was from 7 to 7.6. Today I watered them again, this time with 4 pH water but the runoff showed the same number, from 7 to 7.6. Is that normal? How much time does it for the soil to normalize pH levels? I don’t think I should water them with <5.5 pH water anyway. Or should I? Please help! Thanks!
