That plant looks healthy and strong. ๐ช๐ฝ๐๐๐ผ.
I notice you say hydro medium. May I please ask what medium. Now I too am new to growing... I grow hydro
clay pebbles. I was advised by senior growers to lower my PH to 5.4. So... not sure if same for your medium? And that your plant looks real happy.
Best ๐on your first grow.
@Puffer_Bill, anywhere from 5.7 to 6.3 is fine. I aim for 6 and let it wander around that. Forget pH meters easier and less brain damage to use the indicator solution. Yellow is 6. slightly warm yellow is 5.8 and slightly greenish yellow is 6.2.
Looking strong and healthy.

What hydro medium are you using? Your PH sounds pretty high. Maybe post a question about your PH and someone with greater knowledge than me can answer. I grow hydro in clay pebbles. Started my PH at 6.2 now down to 5.5.
Good ๐ with your first grow.
@Puffer_Bill, I am using AeroGarden grow sponges. I am growing in an AeroGarden. As for the PH, I am hesitant to messing with it, since things are looking good. I will keep the advice in mind for the next grow.
