How to Test and Adjust the pH Level of a Soil Plant

If you have ever wondered how to use a Bluelab pH meter to test the pH level of your soil plant check out this video as we show you how to test and adjust your levels.

Mostly helpful clear speaking teacher on youtube by far!!!

I highly recommend not using aluminium sulphate. Aluminium is toxic to plants and stunts the root tips. In soils above pH4 it is mostly locked up but some plants have a clever mechanism of lowering the pH around their root zone (rhizosphere) they can secrete citric acid to help with unlocking nutrients like iron and phosphorus. These plant secreted chemicals are called exudates. Elemental sulphur is a better choice or you can use products that say chelated/kelated or sequestered iron like some liquid seaweed ferts.

Hey so if my soil is 5.5 can I water every other day with a soul Orion of 7.2 to try to get it to 6.3

instant subscribe because of background music.

I'm conducting an experiment for school. I'm wondering if these compounds are relatively water soluble. I was also wondering if you could give advice about how to alter the pH of water, what kind of water (distilled?) is closest to a pH of 7, or any other ways you know of to alter pH of water or soil in a scientific setting.

My high ass didn’t even notice the plant in the pot till it zoomed it on it 😂

How do i lower the ph soil if the plant is already planted and the bottom soil is high high but the top.soil is normal?

[rogeriorodriguez]

Thank you so very much for sharing the knowledge please have a blessed day. 👍 👍

That's fine if you have a couple weeks to wait for your pH to drop. Most people find themselves in this predicament to where they need to dropped ASAP. So how do you drop it ASAP?

Awesome video, I'm at 5.0 with the soil being wet. Can I just spray the soil around the new plants with baking soda diluted with water? Any help would greatly be appreciated

[billysummers]

Just now paying attention to ph never really had to worry about it untill my garden soil 5.5 my water is 5 how should i bing the soil to around 6.5ish sould i do 7ish water nd bring the soil up little by little or would i be better to use a soil ph adjustment ive got a variety of tomatos corn nd too many herbs to list all still in seedling stage

How much is thd bluelab soil probd meter for ph/ppm? I need that one!

[giovanniseed-planter]

Any alternative for soil acidifier? I have like around the house but not that acid

[kevinstradley]

Do you adjust PH after you add your nutrients to the water

[stephencarlsbad]

How many ph points can you lower your ph by just using the instructions on the soil acidifier bag?
I bet no one has this answer.
Not even Espoma has ever answered this question.
Moreover, 5.5 to 6 is considered acidic but that's not good enough for some plants, like blueberries, that need a ph of 4 to 5...
Explicit breakdowns of how much espoma you need to move 1 ph point would be a more useful tool.

I see the rumor is true..If you can grow a beard u can grow a plant!

[robertbradford]

Also the 6.5 water he added gives you false reading as it is also reading pH of water hello and if soil is 7 and you add 6.5 water you'll end up with pH About 6.8 or slightly more alkaline then the 6.5 you added or slightly more acidic depending on direction of movement of ph. Like I said it's Earth science.

Product SALES ! How many of us are going to PAY the cost of that Ph meter ? Seriously ? Your better off purchasing Ph balanced Soil and go for it! are a sample of your soil at say 5-6" deep and use the Cheap Soil Ph no glass probes and it's no close to $1--.00 or more !

Is this stuff safe for carnivorous plants?

[thedog.]

so my ph can be in the 5.4 soil not coco im using fox farm soil i was told it needs to be 6.5 i know to waiter it at 6.5 to 7 but my soil can be like 5.4
