REQUIRED pH CHART

Check if your plants are in the comfort zone. The chart allows you to check if your plants get all the nutrients necessary for their development or if they are waiting for a specific element. The shortcomings begin when an item becomes available at least 60% of the plant. You'll notice that plants grown in soil or compost need a pH less acid than those grown in hydroponics or coco.
