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

Can you put your plants into veg after one day of 12/12??
I accidentally left the timer on 12/12 in one of my tents I was supposed to flick it onto 18/6, If I revert it back to 18/16 quick after only one day of 12/12 will this do anything or just slow the veg process down?

Short plants
I’m a little bummed out because I thought these genetics would really stretch. Is it something I’m doing early on to keep them short like to much light early on or being to aggressive with my LST. Should I let the plant do its own thing
