Soil ph has been riding high at 7.2ish been feeding proper input, but reading back on my old grow I had to feed more like 5.5 to get the last bed in-line initially then it was smooth sailing at regular inputs. I’ve fed once at 6.0 and saw the soil Ph react with a lowering and it creeped back up by next watering so I went with a 5.5 this time. The bed is only using 2 gallons every 2 days though so it’s taking time to adjust via waterings. A lot of wicking of water from the natural aquifer below and that water table may have higher ph. Thinking my best bet is to adjust the soil, one idea is with some sulphur. I have some organic approved granular sulphur for my blueberries but don’t want to get an excess/deficiency from its use so taking that plan easy and slow. Added some granular humic acid soil conditioner(roots organic essential earth) which doesn’t lower Ph but I guess helps in some magical way. Here is the soil ph this morning it creeped back up again. Honestly not that worried about it but more of explaining what I’m seeing and how the plant is reacting to the environment I’ve offered it. Strawberries N Funk seems to be most resistant to off ph, chiclit is very sensitive and yellowing, calibubba is also sensitive but not as bad as chiclit and strawberry biscotti is moderately affected.
