hello all.. i'm in fox farm soil (ocean) i checked my ph of soil and it's reading 6.0 if i'm right aint that a little low?

what's a quick and affective way to bring up the ph? i'm in the 4 week of flowering..
:thanks:
 
i found that lime will bring up the ph, now the question is how much would i use per gallon? is there a certain kind of lime i should get?
:thanks:

cool i'll go to my local store and see if they have that product if not would it hurt to ph my solution to 7.0 for awhile intill it come's back up?
 
It is safe to use white vinegar to lower ph and baking soda to raise it. You just have to experiment. Get a gallon of water and measure your vinegar or baking soda and keep checking the ph, and make notes. good luck
 
if you are that worried about ph a simple ph raiser that also add N is 2 tablspoons ammonia in a gallon of water this is very fast acting for N so flush it with water and only do it aroun once in 2 weeks if your dirt is a t 6 ph is that a runoff water meas or is that a little cup of dirt and distilled water mud slurry reading actually a dirt ph of 6 should be acceptable
dirt does not require the precision or ballancing of ph that hydro does [ natural cation buffering and balancing for mix of thing in dirt slows chem reactions down gentles them where numbers swing big in liquid hydro] look up cation exchange at a university agriculture dept website for your techies fix for the day
you might not get lost if chemistry is up to date and it hasn't been 30 years since you had chem class some of it is common sense changes in aWATER MEDIA SHOW UP MUCH FASTER IN YOUR PLANT than changes in dirt ....
