Happy frog/ocean forest and about 25% organic miracle grow without the 6-month curse and a lot of perlites and distilled water. never had this problem, I was wondering if I ph the water and the feed (FF trio ) to 6.5 will, the soil eventually hit 6.5 ? thx MysticMimi
 
If the girl is looking good, don’t worry about it right now. I don’t need nutes in the first four weeks using FFOF soil. Make sure you have air under her and water to 10% runoff when she’s dry. Be sure to check the ph after adding nutes to the water. Good luck!
 
The peat works better mixed into the soil, its PH is ~3.5 - 4.0, pelleted sulfur mixed into the soil gives a PH down buffer the plants can use to control the PH.
 
If you want to get your pH down and you don't have the GH pH Up and pH Down, you can always use lemon juice in water. That will lower your pH but it's unreliable. Sometimes 2 drops of more acidic or less than the other 2 drops but it works. You can also try seltzer water BUT BE CAREFUL seltzer water is about 3.0-4.0 pH so a little will go a long way plus the carbonation has added benefits..
