The girls seem to be growing just fine so far.
    In soil your pH is buffered by the actual soil it works like (for a better word) buffering the soil so any salts etc. will stay in the soil, hope this help fella..........

    thanks in advance!

    I know a lot of people say don't have to ph when using soil... I've found that is not the case, it is important...

    I use RO water, and even then after I add the nute mix, the ph of my feed is somewhere around 4.5 -5.0, therefore I always adjust ph up to 6.5. It's consistently the same thing. When plants start reacting negatively, I flush with florakleen... I can relate, I am now using DWC. Plants are greener and developed faster.
