pH values for different plants

[leehydro007]

i want to know that is it the pH value for all the plants is same or it is different for different plants?plus how should i know that nutrient solution i am making is well balanced or not?

Lee, don`t worry too much about PH levels, if you can maintain a reading of about 6.5 to 7. you will be fine.

this means one's target must be simply a neutralized plant...by neutralized i mean the pH of 7.0...

No, I said, 6.5 TO 7. Which is slightly acid, which is what most veg plants require. You seem to be overcomplicating things for yourself. FORGET about matching plants to PH levels. Get your soil to about 6.5 and you will be fine.

no dear it is not like that...i am not complicating things for myself...i was just confirming about that as i found something strange about the pH on some website so just wanted to confirm it...I thought i might be applying that wrong thing to my ploughing too but ur reply confirmed that its ok and everything is fine...

That`s all right then Lee.
