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! 🤟😜

Flushing or feeding
Im already flushing the plant for 2 weeks but as the Trichomes are not changing much it will need some more time to fully develop. I want to see some (10%) amber trichomes.What should I do now? Continue flushing or give some organic nutrients again? Probably need 2 weeks more.

I'm starting to get algae on my surface perlite. Been feeding ~100ml twice a day, is this too much? I've also been keeping tubs of water inside my tent for humidity. Could this be affecting it? I'm just scared and confused 😂

Does Liquide phenol red work to check the water PH?
Liquide Phenol red is the cheapest alternative ive got. It should range between 6 and 8. But it say s for uses at pools and hot tubs, should be more or less accurate and get the job done right? As i can easily see diferences between 6.0 and 7.0? Thank you! :D

DWC water change or NOT?
DWC - The DWC smells good, there are no signs of rot or foul smells - I use 3% H202. I keep the temps under 22. The plants are doing great. Should I just add in my flowering nutrients and let it keep running, or should I disinfect and do a full change? Thanks in advance!

Wanted to know if I should feed my girls any additional Nutrients since the soil medium advertising that it can feed plants up to 9 months (half Vigoro half fox farm) I don’t want to over feed or risk Nutrient lockout.
