Thats what SleepsWith was refering to, the water softener is a salt brine solution, so if you need a softener, the untreated water might not be suitable for plants either, but a full w3ll water analysis could be interesting to see if its easier to correct the treated water or the raw well water, the rest is beyond me…

Ok, first correction, i had not understood that you are not watering with softened water, so the ph adjustment might be locking something out, or disolving too much of somthing that blocks out something else, its not my specialty, but the order in witch you mix your solution is very important. You can test ppm and ph before and after, but the chemistry that involves acid and minerals is gonna cause some kind of reaction…
