This is my first grow and it’s being done on a budget, I have been looking through GD and have learned useful information but have a lot to learn, anyway I have 5 gorilla zkittlez, I used the paper towel technique to germinate the seeds and all 5 popped no problem within 24 hours, put them in the pots on Monday 22/6 and they are coming up through the soil today( Tuesday) so the journey begins. They will only be getting tap water just now but I have canna nutrients to use when needed, they have been started in the pots they will finish in (don’t know if it makes a difference) i have 2 in 20L airpots, 2 in 15L airpots and 1 in just a standard 20L garden pot. Everything I will be using I either got for free or cheap, the light is new it’s lumi transformer and sunmaster duel spectrum 600w bulb but got that for free. I hope to upgrade for next grow but until the i will try my best with what I have here

No. You need to drop it to between 6.0-6.5 for soil. Or 5.5-6.0 for Coco or hydro. A pH down solution will be required or you will have lockout issues. Happy Growing! 🤟😜

buds are starting to build up now, added pk13/14 and canna boost, would have liked them to have been a bit bigger but not to worry they seem to be doing ok, the temperature is starting drop slightly due to the weather changing outside.
