How To Measure & Adjust Hydroponic PH Using General Hydroponics pH Down

[@MandoAroma]

Gr8! I was just in this step!

All of my questions were answered 😇👍🏽

Happy to hear it, thank you for watching!

Omg, tomato hydro!!! I got 8x4 tomatoes in my second bedroom in a grow tent! Wow!

[@BrightLaneGardens]

tomatoes are one of my favorite plants to grow hydro - it's unreal how FAST they grow!

Can you do some hydroponic kratky kale or herbs? Thanks, George

[@BrightLaneGardens]

Hi George! Absolutely, I actually just started a new round of seeds that included some leafy greens and herbs. I took a video break for the holidays but I'm back at it and will do a kratky soon! Thanks for watching

[@glzach100]

Well I hope you had nice holidays and such. I'd like to grow some lettuces , select herbs, and mini kale. Can you let me know what seeds and nutrients you will be using? Thanks and happy new year! George

dang i've got this all messed up. if you got my question on the soil ph with ph down , i would greatly appreicate your help. as alaways with respect R mann

[@BrightLaneGardens]

I'm sorry for my delay!! I answered your question but I'm afraid you're unlikely to see immediate results with soil based plants :( if your plant is struggling, it may be best to repot with a bagged potting soil (should be slightly acidic if it's a trusted supplier, I personally love Espoma organics brand). When in doubt, repot with all new soil and start fresh! Keep me posted

I bought that product & it’s not working for me. I use way more than that in a 2 liter bottle & it barely lowers the ph. Im confused. Ive used so much of it, im going to run out soon 😔

[@BrightLaneGardens]

What are you using to test the water? That is a LOT of product (depending on how large of a water reservoir you're trying to treat). I would maybe consider buying another tester before making any other changes, you should be noticing some change especially with that high of volume!

[@GreenWitch1]

@@BrightLaneGardens Just a pH meter. I should probably get test strips 🤷‍♀️ Im going to try lemon juice & see what happens.

[@MandoAroma]

Ok so. First I add all of my nutrients and after I’ve done that I then use the ph low at the very end right?😁

[@MandoAroma]

5:42 nvm that answered my question 😅

I love the way you say "bah-en" instead of button, very cute 🫠

[@BrightLaneGardens]

😊 thank you

Water is so much easier to test than soil I am realizing.

[@BrightLaneGardens]

sooo much easier. also it was shocking to me how long it takes to adjust soil pH (weeks to months) versus water (2 minutes). But on the flip side growing with soil is sooo much more forgiving!

​@@BrightLaneGardensdo the hydro tomatoes make good pizzas when they grow up? 😂 i hear they dont taste as good? What do you do about purple under tomato seedlings leaves? Blossom end rot. I lived in a tiny appartement in france for 2 years, then got on some land and became obsessed... still haven't mastered this dam tomater.
