hydrating casing material with pH adjusted water?
    #5533905 - 04/19/06 03:00 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have some pH up and down, I was thinking if I hydrated some 50/50 peat/vermiculite with pH adjusted water I could lower or raise the pH of the mix. Assuming this would change the pH level, I guess you'd just have to experiment to find the right amount of pH down to use with certain amounts of peat/verm.

Any opinions on this?  Do you think this would work at all?

:earth: have a nice day

Nope,

pH up - 30% potassium hydroxide
pH down - 30% phosphoric acid

for use with hydroponic nutrient solutions, to adjust the pH.

I noticed that if you take a rockwool cube and soak it in adjusted water it changes the pH so I thought this may work for a casing layer, too.

Can someone answer if these are safe for mush cultivation?

Yes, it's definitely safe.

You can use either pH up/down for hydroponic systems; or pH up/down for the fish/aquarium hobby.

It'd work, but the question is why do you want to do it? Some crushed oyster shell will work perfectly as a pH buffer.

Sorry to bump this thread yet again, but I am broke currently and can't obtain oyster shell. In future grows; oyster shell. For this one; ph up.

Baking soda is a cheap way to raise/adjust the pH of your water.
