I have one plant that is low on pH about 4. Can I just sprinkle some baking soda on top of soil to raise the pH?
No you can’t do that…!
can you fill out a support ticket located on the main page and maybe you can get the information and the right answers

You have to mix it with water you want a pH it so you know what you adjusting it up to, they have a support ticket that asks basic information (located on the homepage) which helps others understand and maybe give you better advice good luck
Yes I have checked it and it was about 4 so I’m not sure how much to use
and I just watered so I guess I should wait.

I agree with all the above and if you have a PH pen, it has to be properly calibrate with a known PH solution, that verify and confirm, if your soil is at 4 and you don’t have a PH up premix solution, you can safely use tap water that you gone a let sit at room temperature a minimum of 5 hours to let the chlorine evaporate and give it to your plants. Tap water normally as a PH around 7 and 8. If your plant don’t suffer from overwatering, do a flush and every thing is gone a be fine. Hope that you’ll find this helpful

Hey bud as soon as I can get my two brain cells working I’ll figure out how
to paste and all that. The tester I have is a probe. It test pH and
mosture. RDG1951
Thanks Niala. I’ll get it figured out.
How old is your probe ? A probe lose it’s accuracy after a year, sooner if it’s not rince after each use. And has an accuracy of +/- 1 in a good condition. And a probe is not good for soiless medium, it gone a give you false reading…

how to copy paste from a BLANK computer
blank equals windows or mac
If your using a phone it is a little different animal.
Ok then, I sincerely wish you good luck
@Rdg1951 I saw another person wrote the support ticket out on a notepad and then took a pic and posted it that way…
Another option
I just bought the tester yesterday. I am checking it in soil. I thought I
would wait a few days and just water with no nutrients.
Yes Bob I’m doing everything on my phone.
Probes are extremely inaccurate compared to a ph pen which tests the water directly. Ive had completely different results testing the soil of a plant with the probe, then testing the runoff with the pen. Just my opinion, but probes aren’t reliable.
