Reducing PH idea
BuckMarl
started grow question 6y ago
I live in an area where tap water has a ph of around 7.3. Is it detrimental to the plant reducing the ph (approx: 6.1 - 6.5) each time by using distilled vinegar or should i use another method?

You could use lemon, distilled vinegar, or purchase an organic ph adjuster like Earth Juice Natural pH down. Cheers and happy growing!

Vinegar for down is fine it's just not stable, baking soda for up is also fine but adds ec to your mix. Happy growing

Hi, I use white apple vinegar to lower the pH during the vegetative stage. Then, starting from pre-flowering, I use pH- with 25% phosphoric acid.

I use white wine vinegar, it's what I have to hand. Seems to work just fine... use about 1ml to a bucket of water

What size pots for autos
How big of pots do autos actually need? I have my current plants are 5 gallon, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to add any plants with those size pots. I’m planning on giving away my runt, so I will have 4x 5 gallon in the 3x3. Have 1 gallon 2 gallon and 3 gallon fabric pots

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?

To trim or not to trim - bud sites
At this point during flowering, this is where I see different information. Should I allow all bud sites to do their thing? From reading, the growing community is split where some people trim off lower and others seem to say if there’s a bud leave it.

So, in the last week, I have seen absolutely no growth in my plants...any of them. They seem to have stalled themselves out after they popped up from the dirt. Is there something I'm missing here? Normally I see them bulk up at this point.
