answered grow question 6y ago
No. You need to drop it to between 6.0-6.5 for soil. Or 5.5-6.0 for Coco or hydro. A pH down solution will be required or you will have lockout issues. Happy Growing! 🤟😜

PPM run off higher than Solution PPM (Soil)
Nutrient solution at 550 ppm - 6.2 PH, I water the plant and get 15% run off which read 1500 ppm - 5.9 PH. My plant still look healthy no sign of deficiency or toxic problem. It's the TDS in soil still remand or salt build up this case. Should i flush her next turn.

If my compost pile has bugs, will my compost tea transfer bug eggs to my soil in an indoor grow?
I started a compost heap in the heat outside and added kitchen waste (fruit, veggies, fan leaves, egg shells, leaves). The heap has a lot of bug activity but far less since i put it in the heat. Is it safe to brew compost tea or will i transfer bug eggs to my soil?

EC madness!!!!
About EC. Er...confusing eh? So, if I feed with 1200 and it comes out 2000, I need to lower the feed until it comes out 1600? And if I feed at 1200 and it comes out at 1400 I can increase? Right? Is the whole point of this to give the plant as much feed as she can take?

Half way done week 3 of flower. Just wondering if there are different nutrients I should be adding. I'm using general hydroponics. Just using what it says to on the bottle for feeding. Do the bud candy add that much growth? Blackstrap molasses to water? When? Any advice please?

Tds of water is 490. Is that a problem.
Hi Gromies. I finally got a TDS meter and my water is 490. That seems higher than average. Will this cause potential issues with growing.

Watering practice okay?
When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.
