Hey everyone. I've noticed my plants are getting purple stems and not really growing as much as other plants. I checked the soil PH of them and the big plants have a PH of 6.1 and the small ones have a PH of 5.7. What's the best and easiest way to increase my soil PH to 6.5? Ty

Water at a higher PH around 7.0 to help stabilize. If that soil doesn’t have a decent about of perlite or pumice stone then it could be a lack of oxygen at the root zone too.

Depend on your tap water ph, but simply tap water ?

Yeah, I'd use water that's pH'ed to something like 6.7 or 6.8 or so. After a few waterings you'll find the soil pH will stabilize upward.

Io personalmente non mi preoccuperei troppo il pH ideale da che so e tra il 5.5e il 6.5 dunque sei nel range Riguardo le piantine non sempre hanno la stessa risposta e possono variare anche se dello stesso ceppo (a volte sembra che abbiano un carattere tutto loro) 🤠 buona fortuna e raccolto abbondante 👍

Watering with a higher pH, start watering at a pH of 7 and you should see the pH rise

Easiest way is to water with alkaline water,probably your tap water.salt build up seems to be the reason ph dropped to that point.always get some runoff in those small size pots because this happens quicker than bigger ones like 3-5 gal
