i have GHE test kit to check water PH, a drops sistem or color sistem

I didnt feed them with any nutrient at all, only water

I never checked soil ph, how to do that?

So what you have there is a soil less mix with fertilizer

If you look at the left side of the pH chart for soil less. A pH of 6 doesn’t allow absorption of nutrients such as calcium and manganes

Several ways to check soil pH. 2 cups of 6.5 pH water add a spoonful of your mix and then check the pH. Or when you water let some run out the bottom and collect it and test it.

Look those up on the excesses and defficiencies chart and let’s see if those look familiar.

I can’t stress enough how important proper pH is. You’d have less headache if you bought a digital meter

Also your soil mix contains fertilizer already so your are actually giving nutes.

thanks bob31
so, i need to adjust soil ph and add some cal/mag additive, right?

If you dial in your pH you may not need the cal-mag but the cal-mag would help till you get the pH nailed.

I’d recommend doing the mix into water pH test to see if you don’t show it bring 5.8 ish right out of the bag.

Welcome @Ivan2309 @bob31 seems to have you covered but definitely get that ph up I wouldn’t add anything except ph water until you get soil ph up to at least 6.5
6 is low and will lock out nute up take
If your in soil if coco your high

great…thanks for wellcoming me!

I will certainly continue to write and inform you!
I also think ph is a problem and i already did as you told me.
I did not drop down ph of water but I just added alga grow so much that ph drops about 6
I definitely have to buy a digital ph tester

You should get one asap it almost as important as having seeds lmao
Ph is the most important thing to watch imo
So many issues start with improper ph levels
In soil 6.5 is the sweet spot but anything in between 6.3-6.8 is acceptable
I try to stay at 6.5- 6.7 my self
Happy growing and tag us should you need anything bro :v::cowboy_hat_face: CB
