Quick PH Question!

[night_neo]

Kind of late for me to be asking this question since i have already had one harvest.

What should the PH level be for a soil grow? When feeding, do I adjust the PH level BEFORE or AFTER adding nutes to the water?

I like 6.1 - 6.3 in peat based medium and understand it's the same in soil. Always add your nutes BEFORE tweaking the pH.

Wow ok. I have always checked the ph THEN added the nutes. Thanks for the advice. So 6.2 should be my goal?

use distilled water or water that has sat for a day or 2.. mix nutrients with water then check ph. then adjust up or down with ph up or down.. dont use vinegar!!! im high..but if you checked ph of water then add nutrients you dont know the knew ph level.. and you had a good crop doing it that way?? hmmm just goes to show it's a weed.
