Tips on controlling PH when watering with drip irrigation system

🌲 Cannabis Growing 🌞 Outdoor

Hello all.

I have a drip irrigation system setup for my outdoor grow and the tap ph runs a little low not to mention the chlorine in the water. My winter autos aren’t an issue cause I add ph up and manually water.

Is there any way to control the ph with timed watering? In line filter? Adding something to soil? (Think I read coffe grinds somewhere). ?

I am considering adding a rain barrel but then I will need a pump etc. cost me another 3-400 bucks.

Thanks

Just an idea, and likely take some patience/tinkering to get correct pH but you can add a chemical injector to your garden hose. You’ve likely seen them as soap injectors for a pressure washer . . . I think you’d need one that you can precisely adjust the flow rate of chemicals down to zero and see if you could get the desired end result by syphoning pH up into the water flow.
