have been watering plants with ph of 6.0 since seedlings( about 6 weeks)
but tested ph level of soil and it is between 5.0-5.3. how do I raise ph in soil?do I just water with higher ph water until soil reads good. lower canopy leaves are dying newer growth yellowing on edges of leaves thx for any help
Yes if you’re in a soil medium you want your ph to be closer to 6.5.
To do this bring the ph of your watering up. I think you should aim to do it in increments. So next time bring the ph of your water up to like 6.5- hopefully the ph in the soil will follow. And then 7 the time after that. Make sure you measure ph on runoff every time.
You can add some Dolomite lime to raise your PH if needed.
What brand of soil are you using?
If it is an actual soil as @Ray4x stated you would want your PH to be around 6.5.
If using a soiless mix such as promix or sunshine #4 you would want your PH around 5.8.
thanks for help
