Green Leaf Organics Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Is there something wrong with your plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 No I have not yet planted them I just was not sure if I needed to get the ph of the soil down before I plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 The amendments in the soil with buffer the PH up, hitting 7 on the run off is acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 When you say flush what do you mean exactly? How much water did you put through how much soil? You shouldn't be "flushing" soil at all. Unless you've fed too much bottled nute *Also please keep an eye on what board you post under. I have moved this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Lining soil means living microbes. I don't ever worry about my soils pH. Just feed the microbes little bit of molasses, amino mix, silica and your plant should supply the rest to the microbes.Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ok thanks guys I growing 4 autoflower so I have left two pots alone and I put about 15l of low ph water of about 5 thru 20kg bag I have it drying out a bit before I plant I have just had such issues as a new grower and started with coco perlite 50 50 and now trying the live soil so we will see if I messed up by doing what I did Hope not lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Leaf Organics Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 You getting ahead of yourself , its living soil . What are you using to ph down? A lot of ph liquids will destroy for soil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I just didn't know what I was doing that's why I did it I just watered the soil with a ph water of 5 till the runoff was about 6.5 I have not used the soil yet should i rather not use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Just an update with the live soil grow I started them all in big pots but I think me messing with the soil I paid the price I don't think I let the soil dry out enough before planting as on my second watering with them 3 of the pots the runoff was really really bad smelling like sewage so i transplanted i know it's not good to do with auto but felt i had to do something and hopefully they young enough to recover the one i left in the big pot didnt have an odor when watering so I left it it's doing really well i think All plants are 10 days old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
