I also have a pH of over 8 from the tap water. So far, no problems. I switched to LST because I was tired of measuring pH and all that 😅. If you have large pots, water moderately, and really good living soil, it works. If you also plant some good, fast-growing companion plants that promote soil life with their root exudates and keep the soil active until your girls are big enough to be the boss of the soil, nothing can go wrong. The only downside is the higher messiness in the pot. They should also be trimmed down sometimes.

@SleepyChow, thanks for the tip! I also think it should work without it, I've been researching for a while now and everything suggests that with soft water it's not a problem, and it works for you too. But I saw you already have a bed, I'm aiming for about 14 liters as the final pot. The companion planting thing is also interesting, I'm currently reading up on that. It's going to be exciting! ✌️💚🤠

@JonnyTerpen, I think that moderate watering is also a key topic. If you water a lot quickly, it leads to pH fluctuations. I rely on blumat, but there are other systems too. If you don't want that, like I said, it's best to water just a little bit. More biomass means more buffer, but it might work with smaller pots too. I've just heard that you might have to fertilize if there aren't enough nutrients in the soil. Maybe KNF or JADAM would also be a topic for you.

@SleepyChow, that's why drip irrigation is often recommended. I still have a bit of time to think about it and read up a little more. Thx! 🙏

FYI, if you want to enter contests, ( im sure you will) you need to separate your diaries. See undet home tab. The environment is the same, copy from one diary to the other.

@Natrona, Thanks for the tip! You're right, I definitely want to participate in a competition as soon as I have my first harvest and a particularly beautiful plant that does justice to a competition. Is it then approved to make an extra diary with a strain from this run and submit it to a competition? Then I would pick out the queen and submit it afterwards as a single diary, or is that scam? 😬🦊

@JonnyTerpen, Different contests. Diary of the Month is a harvested diary of a single strain. Photo OTM is 1 picture. Breeders,- Fastbuds, Zamnesia , Divine etc, will sponsor their own contests using their strains. Take a look.

My water comes out of the tap at 8.5-8.9. I let my bucket of water air out for 24hrs or more to rid of chlorine. I add my fertilizers then test my ph. I always have to PHDown (acid). I try for 6.2-6.5. Happy growing 🌱 💚 💫

Hey Jonny, I just read your entry and wanted to chime in briefly. It’s possible to water with pH 8. As you’ve nicely pointed out, it works, but you’re giving your grow factory a ton of extra work to buffer the nutrient solution through the soil. Instead of properly feeding the plant right away, it first has to create the conditions to be able to take in nutrients. Good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way 🤞

@Oims_Finest, here we are again at the point of soft water. I'll probably take phosphoric acid again like I used to with Coco, the citric acid thing wasn't really great in my opinion and it doesn't really stabilize the pH either. It's definitely a science! 😈

@JonnyTerpen, actually not at all.. but yeah, you're right, the tools available are often really bad quality.. I've had the best experiences with the T.A. pH powder and for the pH meter, I got myself a semi-professional device that has been measuring reliably for the last 3 years..

Ganjin commentedweek 08mo ago

Very nice selection, this will be an exciting winter grow! Regarding water: In my case, it's the opposite; I have very hard water and even have to add magnesium sulfate heptahydrate to get the right CalMag ratio instead of supplementing a CalMag mix. If you have soft water, you theoretically shouldn't worry about too much Ca or Mg, that you have to switch to phosphoric acid? At least depending on how much of that is already in the soil. I would always adjust the pH just to be safe. Trusting in the soil life is good, but control is better, comrade! haha

@Ganjin, thanks for that! You're right, there is something to it, yeah, there's quite a bit of calcium and magnesium in the soil. I still haven't figured out if it came from the soil, the extra CalMag, or if it was due to overwatering. Next time, I'd just like to play it safe, although I'm really satisfied aside from the curled leaves. Have a nice Sunday bro and let it grow! 🤠💚

Hey Growmie, has the same pH of the water as I do. I regulate it with vinegar: 2L water, 8.5 pH, 1.2ml vinegar, boom, pH 6.7!

I also have a pH of 8.2 from the tap water, and as soon as I add nutrients (advanced nutrients organics), the pH drops to 4. Because of that, I had problems with manganese excess in the middle of flowering, especially with the wizard trees happy hour. I always thought it would be fine since the pH stays at 8 and the soil does the rest, but in my case, definitely not. stay high
