New Grower Soil and water ph question

[carl brutananadilewski]

So im using general hydros ph drops and i notice depending on what light it seems diffrent. Do you guys recommend any light to get a true reading? Also im using natures care by mg and wanted to know if and how much dolomite i should be adding to keep the ph at 6.5 or if i just keep giving my plants 6.5 phd water will tbe soil adjust to that?
Thanks guys.

Always read it in natural light,no grow lights.Don't worry about ph,ing your soil,just keep your input water at around 6.5.

I agree I use tap water at 6.8 and my soil is always a lil hot so my run off comes out around 6.3 to 6.8 a drift is good cause plants get different nutes at different ph levels. As long as your plants look healthy dont over think it. My next auto grow will be 100% organic soil and with seaweed liquid nutes. My buddy gets amazing results with minimal nutes.
