Checked it this morning 6.0 in 5.8 out was expecting Higher…

I wonder what is in the soil that is lowering the Ph runoff water?

That’s why I was talking about going the naked soil route next transplant.

2020What's in Happy Frog soil?
Ingredients: Composted forest humus, sphagnum peat moss, perlite, earthworm castings, bat guano, humic acid (derived from Leonardite), oyster shell and dolomite lime (for pH adjustment).
You think there is more in it? Im starting to think so…

You have these in Happy Frog? I tried Happy Frog, and have some plants growing in it now. I had a little trouble adjusting to it. Doing better now, but was getting much better, more consistent results with the soil I was using before.

I use happy frog and it has zero nutes in it. I feed my soil plants my hydro nutes every watering now.

I haven’t checked runoff PH Pute. I’m using cloth pots and water till they just start getting wet on the bottom. I can try to check this at next water. I’m sure it’s going to be different than the others.

I think @BillyK gave another user instructions on going a slurry test to get an idea of the pH of the soil. I have always watered to run off in my fabric pots but have read that just leaches out nutrients so I may be doing it wrong. Did you change things up between the mother and clones?

 

[oldfogey8]

Maybe I could run a low PH water in the plant till I got enough runoff to check it. It doesn’t need water yet but I may be able to get a little urine test from her… Do you think it’s worth it? Cause I don’t know what to do if it’s high excepts trying low PH water to try and lower it…

Urine… lol…

Whoops! I guess these responses are a month and a half after the fact. Never mind…

Hey, it's still the same year! I've typed out answers to post that were from the early teens.

Maybe James the banned can chime in with how he would fix the issue?

I changed my soil on my next grows inside and out to organic with perlite no additives. So far they all look healthy. I’m using the rest of my FF vegging nutes till they are gone but will be looking for something new to use inside and out when it’s gone. I’m thinking of a top dressing for the outside plants but are open to recommendations for both inside and out.

Urine… lol…

Urine did turn my hydrangeas blue according to Americana dog urine but still urine, you may be on to something. You know if you would google it someone would have done it already. Hey maybe even yall have

I use rusty nails for my hydrangeas.

I use rusty nails for my hydrangeas.

I have pink ones in the front, purple ones in the back and blue ones in the doggie area. They are all pretty, don’t know why I’d want to change the color.

I like to try to go for multicolored plants. Some of my blooms have gone from pink to purple to blue across a single flower. Got the rusty nails thing from a gardener in Cape May NJ.
