First Indoor Grow [Snip Snip m'loves]

16TH 10PM: RAISED LIGHT UP CONSIDERABLY, AS CENTRAL PLANTS WERE GETTING LITERALLY LARGER THAN OUTER. PUT LED's to 100%. They are full Spectrum 125w (Visible/IR/UV). 600W equivalent Only read the next paragraph if your into grow-updates.... While stoned. I went P-Crazy, this amount of illiteration on vegetation should have me in litigation... DAMN IT. OK So "Project pH Perfection" started 10PM 16th. Mission briefing = Bring 7.5 pH down to 7, preferably slowly. My aim is -0.1 per 2 days, but I'll settle for -0.1 daily. Preperation for commencing "Project Positive pH is Perfectly Perverse, Personally being Passive = Providing Poor Conditions Producing Plants Paralyzed to Progress Past Self-Preservation (May aswell call it Self-Vegetation, pre-prubescent plants might stay that way if 7.5 pH is not pushed down to 7... Begin Phase 1; Citric Acid + Water = 6.0 pH. My aspiration + my inclination is to push my plants in a protracted way. Pouring Portions which cause -0.1 pH per day is plenty powerful for the P-Possessed pH prober writing this Preposterous Poppycock. High pH? I'm coming for you. P-illiteration aside. 400ml of hard-water (7.5) required no more than 2x as much citric (or other substance beginning with C) you could fit on the end of a key. Learn from my mistakes, remind yourself just because its white and on the end of a key.... [1] [1] - Jokes aside, for the public good I will weigh how much citric is needed to turn 7.5 (Standard hard-water, if your kettle is coated with limescale, you have basic water. No not simple water. alkaline water. Why is 7.5 worth working to change? Well, 7.5 pH soil actually is on the border of being so high your roots have trouble pulling 2 [forgets which nutrients - Will remedy before end of sentence] nutrients, and these 2 particular nutrients are most used during the flowering phase so, oh my bad, its more than 2 nutrients. So 7.5 pH soil, these nutrients are not absorbed as efficiently; 7.5 pH causes 10-25% drop in uptake of; 1) Iron 2) Manganese 3) Copper 4) Zinc Getting to 8 pH will render those 4 nutrients uptake-efficiency <30%. Super Seriously: 8pH begins to effect phosphorous uptake. Which though even at 8 its effect is small, seeing as 8 will cripple nutrient uptake as is, effecting one of the most important nutrients even a bit, is likely game over. Yes I'm a pH expert. I have a pHd.... Get it? No for real because this was my first indoor grow, I seriously humbled myself on most subjects.
