I been pulling my hair out trying to find out the true ph of my soil. I have used the test where ya add a little soil a capsule of white powder and water, I have used the dual prong stick it in the ground meter, and the liquid tester in a slurry none can give me a close anwser the meter tels me all the soil in VA is 8.0 the soil test kit says I have 5.5 and the slurry gave me 3 different answers. for my medium im using 50% ocean forest and 50% happy frog with the 3 fox farm nutes oh and a ton of med to coarse perlite. I'm about 3-4 weeks from harvest and this next time I want to focus on my PH before I plant. ? is it PH the issue, or, old seeds, a grower that checks his plants 17 times ,a day.over water and a million other possibilities. I just want to learn how to find my true PH from the start a little more info to help suggestions I am growing autos, 5gal grow bag 16 hr light on 8 hrs off. the fox farm is supposed to be 6.3 to 6.8 out of the bag when I tested it I got 5.5.some advice on my true ph would allow me to erase 1 of my possible issues. My friend tell me im doing good but that isnt good enough Ill do a couple more auto grows then I plan on graduating to photos and a Screen of Green. BUT BEFORE JUMPING ON A HARLEY, i NEED TO LEARN MY TRICYCLE!
