Reducing PH idea
BuckMarlstarted 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

Minor compost tea - how long will it keepI have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasn’t thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.5y ago

Dry and Liquid Organic FertilizersHello fellow growers I have been curious if anyone has used both liquid and dry fertilizer in their grow?
I am growing in Coco and using a super coco mix with top dress and tea with dry fertilizer.
If I add liquid fertilizer would this kill the living microbes in the coco?Setup. Other

Too fast, too highSo here's the question. The box height is 1.5M. plant is already 75cm + pot size. Apollo-1 is getting closer and closer to the lights, which I don't like. It has 35-40cm left till light panel. Do you recommend to super crop the center, main stem?Or do you have any other solution?Week 5

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.
