Hey GD,
This week I’ve had to use a few bamboo poles@ 3 ft tall to hold the branches up from falling over. She finally stopped, or really slowed vertical growth around Day 49 - Day 51. She has stopped at about 30 ¾” high. Her side branching is nice compared to others and her inner branches after the LST are catching up to the outside branches in height. I was worried If I would have to cut them off or not. She really doesn’t have much of a smell yet, but I’m very hopeful. Her buds are swelling for sure as I came in overnight, Day 53, and I could definitely tell a difference in size and appearance.
I am running Fox Farm Coco Loco soil in this grow. What should my PH range be? The reason I am asking is I see a few successful grows with PH ranges in soil from 5.8 to 6.5 for Fastbuds strains. I am definitely confused as to what to keep my range at.
You are using a soil mix, meaning that it has organic matter, as such you should keep your pH between 6.0 and 7.0, 6.5 been the sweet spot, regardless if it has a bit of coco or not (which you do).
When you are using soil less media, which is plain coco, or coco with perlite, or some other mix with no organic matter, then the pH you need is lower, between 5.5 and 6.5, 5.8 been the sweet spot in this case.
With me so far? as long as you keep your pH between 6.0 and 7.0 you'll do fine,
