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

BeschneidenHello, I had to trim my ladies a bit today so they wouldn't take the light away from the smaller colas. I hope that wasn't a big deal; it was one leaf per plant. The cuts are clean, but one turned a leaf 90 degrees right after cutting.

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 ?

Yes, my pathetic 1st attempt growing, & I respect the advice given to me to give up & start over, I want to finish to harvest for the learning experience of the whole process.

Darkness before flipping crop?I'm getting ready to flip my crop to flower. What's the significance of giving the crop 25 - 36 hours of darkness before flipping? In the past, I would just flip the lights to 12 and 12 and introduce the flowering fertilizer slowly while reducing the foliage solution.Week 7

Flipping to flowerPlz take a look at my 4 short and stocky (known as a low growers) Nirvana Papaya LST’d girls (pics from week 6) and tell me if I should flip to flower now or hang a week? Think I’m running out of height space. I’ve got 20inches spare from the LED plus a little more if needed.
