A solution pH between 5.5 and 6.5, +/- 0.5 is fine. However, the fertilizer will affect that, as will the plant and the potting medium. The thing to do is make up your solution, and water thoroughly, saturating the potting medium. Wait 15 minutes, and dribble about 50 ml (or so) of pure water over the mix, collecting the runoff. The pH of THAT will tell you what the plant is experiencing, and that's what's important.

As to "worm teas", read THIS.

Are you recommending that Inocucor be used every week while Kelp Max is done monthly?

Nope. Normal usage is 1:100 solution added to irrigation solution once per month.

Thank You When I went to that link, it looked like it was saying to use it more often.
