Murphy’s Hydro 1

Everything going well, although The pH is hovering at 5.5, and I’d like to raise it periodically. I like the pH to fluctuate within the optimum range of 5.5 to 6.5 for complete nutrient uptake over the growing period. The Sour Diesel in the right foreground is growing well, but since it’s in soil it doesn’t grow as tall or as fast as the hydro Sour Diesel behind it. In fact, the hydro plant has much stronger trunk and branch structure, as well as being about 6” taller. And that’s after being stunted and almost killed at week 2. The soil plant is propped up on blocks to provide a flat and even canopy under the lights equal to the hydro plants.
