I am taking the advice of a few of the top growers and trying to better understand the nutrients I am spraying and drenching and how the plants react. I tend to have crispy leaves earlier than most so I need to get better. So one thing I did over the winter is bought a pH meter and have been looking at pH as one of the things I want to understand better. I have been using Neptunes Fish for a while and this year want to add Origin 360 to the mix.

So I fired up the pH meter. Since I was working with Neptunes Fish and Origin 360 I found step 2 of the instructions particularly unpleasant:-).

Neptunes mixed as instructed (30ml per gallon) ends up being pretty acidic pH 3.5 Origin (120 ml. per gallon) is pH 9.9. When mixed 50:50 the pH is a pretty neutral 7.3 I'm thinking a 50:50 mix might be a nice way to apply these nutrients so long as the mix is used immediately.
