PH up with baking soda

PH determinates, what nutrients can be DISOLVED and ABSORBED. lover than 6.0PH and more NITROGEN is disolved, and higher than 6.0PH, more POTASSIUM and KALIUM is disolved. so... for veg time, try to go under 6.0PH and for flower time go up to 7.0PH. soil will buffer it to 6.5PH and the plants will be really happy.

BUT...

for it to work, you must buffer it from the start OR don't. but stick to one method, don't go with tap, then buffered, that 9.0PH, than 6.0PH,.... this will make your plant sick and will not give the best she has...

anyway, keep on learning and asking, keep growing and learn from you mistakes. it's best to try everything yourself to find what suits you, you plants and your climate the best. it takes years to dial it to perfection and many seeds and clones... once you'll have 1good round, you'll know how to go forward. but PLEASE, NO BAKING SODA and NO PH up/down WHEN IN SOIL. tap all the way:)

peace

Thanks for your reply bro. My tap water is 8.6 so i do have to lower it with some ph down drops i think. I think i finnaley found the best ph level. I am giving them ph 7.0 water and i get a run off from 6.4-6.7. Must be pretty good right?
