Next grow of I do decide to use the remaining FF soil i have, I'll just add dolomite lime to it before i plant anything in it. That should resolve any...

As long as the plants are happy then it's all good. I'm still trying to dial in what i got going on.

I watered the plants today and had a little run off so i decided to pH test it to see where i stand and to confirm some suspicions i had. Now i know...

Removed the dry yellow leaves and maybe 1 or 2 fan leaves from the top to uncover some flower spots and that's it. No more touching until harvest. Wednesday...

Of course you need distilled water for calibration. That's just basic college chemistry 101 type stuff. My pH meter isn't the greatest in the world but...

Now i only do a top dress of compost and molasses during bloom and I've been getting amazing results. I try to keep it simple. I mean the compost is...

I'm curious how my plants would fare with pH'd tap water.
What if I filled some pitchers and let them sit a day or 2, then I pH it down to...

Well according to some research that I did it's the hydrogen ions in the filter the caused the water to become more acidic. So I guess that's the answer...

I wanted to use my tap water since it's around 7.3 which is easy to lower. I'm aware about letting it sit for a day to get the chlorine out. Once i...

Anyone use Brita filters and notice that it makes the water very acidic?

My unfiltered tap water runs 186 ppm @ 7.3-7.5pH
