Reducing PH idea
BuckMarlstarted grow question 5 years 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

Hola, yo uso vinagre blanco de manzana para bajar el ph en la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo. Después, a partir de la pre flora uso PH- con 25% de ácido fosfórico.

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

Should I start flushing for harvest?I'm thinking about starting to flush in the near future (probably about 3-4 days from now). Based on my photos, does it look like she's ready for flushing, or should I wait a bit longer? I'm using a mixture of coco and perlite.

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.

SupercroppingWould it be wise for me to supercrop my tallest plant right now? I may end up maxing my lights out to the highest point, but was wondering if supercropping would be wise. It will only be the top. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.Week 9

Is it possible to do the Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting technique when already switched to flowering?Hi
Is it harmfull to the plants to do some Kyle Kushmans Chiropracting when I have already switched to 12/12? I might want to do it in a few days when they have recovered fully from the defoliation.
Thank you

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 ?
