Ill post pics if needed but check it out:
I really need some advice on my ph bullcrap!!! When i flushed last time and followed the directions on the back of the box 2 my soil ph tester i was getting good readings at about 6-7 and thought i was in good shape.
I used like 6-8 gals of water to like 5 gallons of soil and had just flushed a few days prior to when it was in a 3 gal pot with like 4 gals of water.
I realize some of the shock i am seeing to the plant is from all the damn water but i have checked the ph again while not completely following the directions to the ph meter (by this i mean the directions say to test ph in soil during watering, when the soil is still mucky.) So by not following the directions i have only not gotten the water mucky but it is still moist.
My concern is that when i put the probes in and near the root ball of the plant i am getting low low readings like 4-5. When i go out toward the edge of the pot to fresher soil i get readings like 6-7 and my other plants are also reading at a good level wet and or dry soil!!!!
What should i do?
