    Default soil ph and flushing

    hi again guys!

    I have now finally measured my ph in my soil and it was 9.0!!!! so i've put 10ltrs of water into a container and used ph-down to get the ph to 6.5 But then i started flushing the plant.. (about 60cm in height and in 8ltr pot). after like 40 minutes i only have 5ltrs through and now 1 hour later the soil is very very very wet... is this normal when flushing.. goes very slow through and is that ok?...

    i really hope for an fast answer here because if i need to flush more i would like to finish flushing with ph 6.5 water

    regards

    sounds like your pot doesnt have enough drainage holes and/or you need to raise it of the ground slightly
    try putting a couple of small sticks of wood under the pot to raise the pot of the floor
    or drill 3 or 4 more holes around the very bottom edge of the pot

    what kind of soil is it?
    what did you measure the pH with?
