SOIL BED GROW 80 plants

I read that you use a PH of 5.8? this is for Hydro. Soil should be 6.5-6.8

Hammerhead-- yeah in between 5.8 and 6.0 been doing it that way for ten years and never a problem. I never heard or read that seems pretty high

 

[Hammerhead]

That's the way it's been for years my friend. You can find this info just about anywhere. I'm very surprised that you never had issues. I have seen gardens completely ruined by low PH this requires a massive flush to correct. FFOF has lime witch is a ph buffer to 7. There soil is adjusted to 6.3-6.8 im not sure about the clay. I would suspect that your run off is much higher then you think it is.

Hammerhead-- I just do what works for me. yeah never had issues. Run-off yeah I never checked my run-off just PH the water and ppm and I water. I also suspect tho that Ph ing at 6.0 is not far off from the low end of the scale you specified of 6.5-6.8

Soil beds would be so much fun, wish I had the space!
Keep up the good work

Try and raise the PH you should get a better yield/quality after correcting to the right PH. You will never know unless you try do some reaserch on it. Great bed grow by the way

Hammerhead-- thanks for your info

I always yield about 5 ounces a plant but this is my first time in soilbeds so my expectations of what Im gonna get from a two foot plant is lower but Im good in the YIELD and PH department

Sweet setup. I've been obsessed with organic growing these past few days and Ive been researching about soil beds. How much water do you use on that bed? Does it have any draining? Im tagging this thread. I hope you get a fat frosty harvest.

 

[caasecapo]

pugnacious--- I water about 15 gallons each bed every 9 days and there is no drain just clay rocks

 

[pugnacious]

Sweet any updates? What type of Foxfarm soil are you using ocean Forrest?

Looks good dude.. Glad I helped with my soil bed grows..

How's your humidity levels doing.? That's one thing to watch for in beds.. it can creep up on you fast...

Keep it up man. I'll be watching this one.
