So I’m making compost tea all summer for the ladies. The ladies are planted directly into the ground. I’ve been told i should be checking the ph of my tea. I’ve grown cannabis outdoors in the ground for 30+ years and never used a ph tester. I’m guessing using it will be easy to figure out by following directions. My question is what do i buy or what do i need to adjust the PH of it is not correct?

Are you fully organic? Organic growers ignore pH.

@MidwestGuy that was the goal in using worm castings, blood meal, chicken manure fertilizer, kelp meal, Mycorrhizae and molasses Not every tea is made with everything for instance I’m going light with the blood meal to start as I’m not familiar with it. And i don’t add kelp meal everytime.

I wouldn’t bother with pH unless you introduce synthetic nutrients.

Ph meter, ph up and down liquid. All can be found online.

I don’t ph my teas I grow outdoors in the ground in my own soil. Its still good to have one and to know the ph of the water you’re using but it’s not necessary. People have been growing weed for century’s without having anything to check ph. It’s good to have one if you have an issue with a plant, one of the first things you’d wanna check is the ph of what ever your watering or feeding. Apera makes a good ph pen
A good ph meter

Not necessary for your type of grow. That’s more geared toward synthetic/hydro grows where there is no buffer for ph.
