Will it effect the PH of the soil? I usually feed with liquid chemicals, I have to wonder if by using this, I should adjust my liquid feeding.

it has not affected my pH at all....just get yourself a couple big handfuls and sprinkle it around each plant baseand work it in the top two or three inches and water....And if you really wanna get em going naturally...Get some Dr Earth #5 and mix that in there....Wow is all i can say

This time I stayed away from chemicals ...used good top soil..manure humus mix..with garden lime..dr earth #5..coffee ground.. egg shells.epsom salt..bat guano.and worm castings...and only used water for entire grow...Every couple weeks...make some dr earth tea...and bat guano tea too when flowering... Mmm mmm ....taste great and no need to flush nasty chemicals

Earthworm castings are a neutral PH and you can't really add to much to your mix. They pretty much act as extra soil with a nice Nitrogen content. Also helps to keep soil from clumping up. It won't effect your PH, and I wouldn't adjust your schedule. That's my opinion.

justmix 1 half cup of ph powder to 1 gallon and then slowly pour into hydroponic res and flood tank to match ph if thats hoe your set up is if in single buckets then just the res.. i hope this helps out it did me

It is not recommended. This is meant to be used as a calibration solution to calibrate pH meters. If you need to adjust the pH up or down, we recommend using a pH Up or Down Adjustment solution.

Absolutely not. This product has very poor labeling, but it does state that it contains lots of nitrates. This may be ok for plants, but will counteract the benefit of an incremental water change in an aquarium. Compared to the amount of pH lowering ability of this product, the nitrogen content is the major component. It's more of a fertilizer that may lower your pH than acid with nitrogen in it. In my 155 gallon aquaponics system, adding one large-side scoop of this powder every other day dropped my pH from 8 to 7.8 (for a short amount of time) while forcing my nitrite and nitrate readings so high that my test kit couldn't even read them. It has caused a white crust to form on my grow media that kills any plant leaf that touches it (but doesn't taste like salt). If you feel you absolutely can't use your tap water in an aquarium ( and a lot of fish are ok with a pH of 8, but it's bad for plants), then purchase water or catch rain water before you resort to dumping this fertilizer on your fish.

This stuff works different than the liquid bait. I do not know how it works, but a little on a ant hill and after a day or two - no more ants. I have a type of ant that is not attracted to the liquid stuff. The ants i have now are not the sweet eating variety. If you are having a ant problem - I would recommend giving this stuff a try.

I use this meter for soil, there is a soil ph tip you can buy for it, I use the ppm tip for testing prior to feeding and the ph tip included prior to watering and feeding. Hope this helps

It did cause slight PH fluctuations but what I did was keep a very close eye on my fish. I was ready to go if something happened but for me the shifts in PH were very very minor. I ran an air stone at night to desaturate excess Co2 since plants don't use it at night. Without taking any responsibility if you lose fish, I think you are safe. I keep ghost shrimp and a male Betta in a 20 gallon and they are fine. If you are maintaining all of your other parameters and your tank is healthy I don't believe you would have a PH imbalance large enough to do harm. Just make sure you use a test kit for a while when you start using the Co2. Test kits are a very important tool. I will post a picture of my tank using this product.

O3 might kill the beneficial biologicals in the soil, (not good) and will could interact with other chemicals and chemical compounds in your soil. Usually this is a bad thing.

I usually give the plants a little drink just before I add the fertilizer , and then a little more water afterwards , the plant pots sit in drip containers and as long as there isn't an over abundance of water , I just let the plants drink as they need to . I haven't had any problems feeding my plants this way . If I do get any fertilizer directly on the leaves , I use the spray nozzle on the kitchen sink to lightly rinse them off . I hope this helps , good luck , and have a wonderful day , or night whichever it may be .

Not to my knowledge I have drenched my soil heavily with no adverse affects. If you tea your nutrients you are constantly rejuvenating your microbes anyway.

I premixed the solution if I plant on watering my plants. Like I take my water can which is 5 gallons and add 5 oz of liquid seaweed. Don't worry if you give your plant to much liquid seaweed on accident. Didn't seem to hurt my plants or make them grow any faster.

I use it in a feeding tube. Have not had a problem, just make sure to flush with warm water.

I haven't used it for that purpose. It could really screw up the soil. But my PM problem started when I fertilized the lawn. This year I did not fertilize the lawn and my PM problem is greatly reduced!

What size are your pots? I have outdoor 20 yeas old plants and added about 3 cups to each plant this spring working it into the soil (Two months ago). I have not noticed a change either. It can take years to lower the ph properly. I would check the ph after two months and add more working it into the soil if the ph does not start to drop. Make sure you are checking the ph properly. A ph change of 0.5 is actually a large change because of how the scale works

I suggest doing a ph test of the soil before anything, maybe this product at 5 week intervals instead of 6, and perhaps some good fish liquid fertilizer too. Roses are heavy feeders so make sure that when you plant, you amend the soil with good compost and well aged manure. Getting them planted and off to a good start with amended soil at the very beginning is key. Different types of soils, different zone s, different weather conditions, lots of things to consider, but the best soil at the very start, amended, makes the best roses.

I use the tester to check the acidity in the water for my plants. I add lemon juice and vinegar (equal Parts) to raise the acidity in a five gallon bucket of water. So I will say yes to your question. The tester seems to work better in water than in soil. I hope this helps.

I have used it so many times. Never had a problem with the plants. It could be that it changes the ph in the soil making it better for the plants. Grass has a tendency to die where dogs pee a lot, and this product neutralizes it.
