Checking (approx) Alkalinity in your water with NO meter with Dutchman420

welp you heard it from Scott O that with no alkalinity in your water source.. there is a problem when using nectar.....low cec(will explain in next video) and acidic p.H drift to name a few.. there is a way to get an approximate idea how much Alkalinity you have if any in your water source...or pay 50 bucks and get the Hanna freshwater alkalinity meter not salt like scott said by accident last time...stick with me i will set you straight...lol.. Remember ALKALINITY is the measure of how much dissolved limestone (calcium carbonate calcium bicarbonate) is dissolved in your water source...to measure this the meters available or labs use ACID to melt down or dissolve the little rocks that are floating in the water source...then they measure it...simple as that...if you have no little rocks in your water it will steal the stuff from your soil....if you have too much it will build up in the soil either way it is bad....this video shows the way to see if you have some in your water...with no calcium in water the p.H down would keep p.H low and not climb back up...simple as that ..the exact amount of calcium carbonate-aka-little rocks- is not known....need to buy a special meter (alkalinity checker) for exact levels...
