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! 🤟😜

Does adding extra PK in an organic grow extend curing time ? Thanks !
My friend that uses Biotabs nutrient as I do achieved a better taste than I did on our AMS Wedding cake seeds. Tastes a bit like mustard whereas his is tasty even though they were all dried just 2 weeks ago. My leaves were always dark green , Maybe adding PK wasn't necessary ?

When to begin nutes?
So this beauty has been growing in fox farm ocean forest soil and I have yet to give her any extra nutrients. I am going to use an organic top dressing and I was wondering when would be the best time to add it without overdoing it? I was going to add it today!

Yellowing leaves/slow growth week 1-2
What would you recommend as the course of action for these girls? I need them to recover quick.... My thoughts are some root tonic? Since giving them last round of nutes, I've just been giving water and recovery is so slow, girls are barely moving....

Watering too much at once vs runoff?
‚Watering when soil is 2,5 cm dry‘:I read the soil should never be ‚swamp‘ wet after watering, yet I also read that the run off needs to be tested regularly - but watering till water runs off does make the soil muddy. Can there be too much water at once if the soil Is dry on top?

Ph drop after res change
Ph dropped hard 24 hr after res change @ 60%. Had changed 1 week prior due to high ec + slowly dropping ph and added another air stone. Turned off the air stone for an hour, no change so likely not acid rain situation. Ph up’d, plant never showed signs of being unhappy. Thoughts?
