Raising and Lowering pH Values Based on a Soil Test

[@Real1on3]

this channel is so underrated.... im so grateful for the information i get here, thank u so much ! im european english is not my language but this is easy to listen to .

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for posting this and great to hear! Please share the channel with others!

[@yusufalbalooshi2723]

Thank you dear for excellent information

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

My pleasure!

[@trippsmclovin]

Straight information, straight to the point.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Glad you went straight to the comments after watching.

Happy frog soil tested at 6.9 i have fast-actin gypsum, has sulfur and sulfate in it will adding that to the top of the soil drop the PH to 6.2 to 6.5 (cannabis) great knowledge in this video.ive been watering at 6.0 with PH down my water PH around 7.00 to 7.2 tap water

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Hope this plan works well for you.

[@oldairforcevet4005]

Matt..thanks for coming down to my level in understanding the diff nutrients. Happy New Year!

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Thanks for coming up to my level of understanding;-)

[@jeff7279]

would like to see a video on pH fluctuation damage to cannabis leaves

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

This can have a variety of visual symptoms, but pH is easy to check.

How about adding Calcium betonite? Are earthworms not affectd by adding the chemicals you mentioned? How about sap analysis vs soil analysis?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

So many questions... Calcium betonite = clay based and would not impact pH nearly as effective as limestone Earthworms = not impacted at the levels recommended, infect with improved plant health their populations may benefit Sap vs Soil testing... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH2ln55ogNKlaMU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKGWgqGvpct8d7c

Hello my dear professor # I have a problem. I have put a lot of agricultural gypsum and slaked lime in abundance. I have an increase in calcium and alkalinity of the soil, as we are in highly alkaline countries. I am from Bahrain in the Middle East of the world. I ask you for a quick solution to avoid the problem. The plants and trees have become thin and weak and are dying little by little from the excess of calcium in the soil. The leaves show a deficiency of calcium, small leaves, and burning of the leaves. I have a problem with the soil. How can I get rid of the excess of calcium and alkalinity of the soil, as fertilization is well available. Thank you, my dear.

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Adding sulfur will help with the pH issue, and often high Ca can block K so adding some potassium may also prove helpful.

[@stewiepid4385]

Question: Would adding a product called CAL - MAG to the watering do the same thing?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

In short, no it does not have a great impact on the long term pH values of the soil.

[@tonysanchez4519]

I don’t add anything to the water straight from the hose to water my plants and they still look Healthy

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Must be growing in a nutrient rich substrate.

[@tonysanchez4519]

@@DeBaccoUniversity that explains thank you .

[@tonysanchez4519]

I usually feed my plants every 3 days , 2 days water 3rd day feed time

[@Anonomush_oranges]

What about lowering the pH for indoor (potted) plants? I need something to drop the pH from 7.5 to 6 quickly. I don't think sulfur (which I have from another project) is going to acidify the soil fast enough. Should I buy an expensive pH down bottle or can I use vinegar?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

pH down is "best" but vinegar would work.

[@famellies--313-Beatmaker]

Lemon juice is the one ..

[@jimdennis9628]

Aluminum sulfate

[@danielwarpaint1963]

Aluminum causes Brain damage. Use "Aluminum NOTHING" in your life, not even deodorant or bisquits. @@jimdennis9628

[@muppetonmeds]

If you use ph up and it goes too far up is it safe to use ph down in the same solution I've heard conflicting reports on this it seems if it's safe to use both products on your plant it shouldn't be a problem but what are your thoughts? Thanks

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Yes, you can use both, but your ppm will likely increase.

[@harrythehead2332]

Question: I use a soil mix with a Ph of 5.5. Could someone advise me on the amount of Dolomite Lime I should add to make it around 6.8 Ph ? (per litre).

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

This DeBacco University video may help you out... kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4WtlIuJbJ17h8k

[@markprice2225]

That shouldn't affect your ph. And what are you growing that you need Lime?? I only heard of that for like bugs or rodents in the garden, or if you have a dog that loves digging up things in your yard

[@famellies--313-Beatmaker]

Thanks man .just got my run off back at 7.5 pH and was worrying to hell my plants going to start showing defiencys soon.i know exactly where I mucked up I just hope I can level the pH out to a more balanced pH level for my baby....help lool 😂

Once you know the problem you know what to fix;-)

Hydrogen to drop soil ph?

[@DeBaccoUniversity]

Hydrogen ion concentrations is the definition of pH... pH = -log [H+]

[@jimdennis9628]

Aluminum sulfate

[@danielwarpaint1963]

​@@jimdennis9628NO NEVER
