hey, hello... aaahhhhmmmm...
well, aaaahhhmmm.... 1 week into flowering, watering with r/o water, with
Sensi-cal (200ppm) at a ph of 6.7 , i checked the run-off and it's 6.0 .
i.ve also noticed some new leaf "twisting" at budsites ..
bbut, my question is... SHOULD I RE-WATER WITH A HIGHER PH (LIKE 7.0) TO NEUTRALIZE IT ?

THANKS, MANN ! tryin to figure out to post photos..

Yeah bud up whats going in to get what's coming out to be 6.5 +/- If your soil drains well enough it will not hurt to re-water to get pH right. Consider mixing some pulverized dolomite lime into your soil to keep the pH up.

cool, thanks McBudz ..... hey , do you think, or know, if Perlite causes ph drop?

 

[Racefan]

Perlite does not. it's inert.

thanks !

The breakdown of the sphagnum/peet moss in your soil mix is most likely what is lowering your pH. The lime helps off set this.

thanks stinky, i shopped a few local stores like home depot, and my "hydro store" and they had no lime... i guna try a garden supply store 2moro. in the meantime.. i took one plant, and flushed it with a high ph (7.5) and run-off was still a sub 6.0 ... i wonder..would it be safe practice to flush with a ph OVER 8.0 ?? just to try to neutralize it ? or no.. thanks man !
