I been under watering my plants for the past month and just now realize. thought it was nutrient deficiency so I have added Epsom salt about three weeks ago, cal mag and dyno bloom(stupid mistake)about two weeks ago. and about 3 days ago I added some flora micro. I am growing in organic living soil. Today I decided to test my runoff and got
3550 ppm
6.6 ph
To me ppm seems high? Any tips?Any suggestions are very much appreciated
Yo @eddy360 im also a beginner here so I’ll let the more experienced growers chime in too. But if you add some fresh filtered water at the right pH, to your water/feed It should bring down your PPM’s
@AAA Yes bought a living soil kit from apotforpot.com. Also added some nutes thinking it was A deficiency. Was only watering about a cup every other day. I’m a noob.
I wouldn’t get in the habit of watering the kits to runoff or else you will flush out the available nutrients already present in the soil and have to add them back in.
I only did it to test it, I won’t be doing that anymore. But after watering to runoff yesterday, today I noticed a big difference of the plant. I have been definitely under watering. Now hope I don’t over water
The plant doesn’t pH water in the soil as far as I know. The pH of water matters much less when using soil because the soil will buffer the pH. In layman’s terms it means that soil pH is resistant to change.
