My issue is I cant access coco except for Amazon so I go get peat moss bales and mix with rice hulls and use down to earth brand but I cant get my soil p.h. below 7! I use veg mix,bloom mix,oyster shell, azomite,and once a month insect frass and castings tea... I ph my water @5.8 to 6.2 just try lower soil ph but it stays just about 7.0 no matter what...?? How can get that perfect soil ph?

[@soulseeker42388]

Add alittle clay to your coco (like just a couple handfuls per 3gal pot) and you'll increase your cat ion exchange sites. When you add it make sure it is completely dry and can be broke down to a powder. And mix it like a dry nutrient. But it will increase your water holding capacity

[@kountrybudz3018]

Yo this was very informational. I just started in coco about 4 months ago and I love it more than soil. Bigger plants and quicker growing. My PH was 6.5🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ and I was close to the end of flowering and dropped down closer to 5.8 I almost immediately noticed a boom in growth. Thanks, man keep it up

Rob gives me alot to ask, pigeons is flat out my hero, and u yourself are so pro. I wish u all great things

[@dmo848]

If u like watering go for it. I just got done with my experiment with it and it was a pain in the ass but totally worth it. Double the size of soil. I'm figuring out was cause I had to water like 3 times a day daily. She was a hungry bitch. Maxibloom n koolbloom liquid in flower and holy wow man. Oh and cal mag.

[@gullywompr]

Really good info. Really good.

[@T-money0985]

Same here! I Drink RO with flavor shots or coffee maker, Navage nose cleaner and water pick toothbrush. I add a super small pinch of salt to the coffee grounds. Keeps my Coffee Maker and humidifier clean. The RO filter I have is only 1 gal of RO to 1/2 gal waste. I use the waste water in the summer for my outdoor plants (after it sits for at least 24 hours).

It's apparently illegal to collect rainwater here in NYC. Kinda ridiculous. I'm assuming it was a law passed during the West Nile virus mosquito scare, risk of standing water going stagnant and all. I'd love to hear anyone's experience with using distilled water. It's as close to RO as I can get right now. Our tap here comes out between 40 and 75ppm I'm just not keen on adding any chlorinated water to my coco with active microbials.
