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! 🤟😜

Super low runoff PH, even after corrective measures being taken. Plant otherwise okay, but probably isn't taking all her nutrients.My runoff PH has been hitting mid-5s, even after flushing (w/ & w/o additive).

We have decalcification machine. Should I add Calmag right from the start? How much? (Autoflower in mostly Biobizz Allmix)We have a decalcification machine (natrium based), so I have low magnesium/calcium. People say my soil is low in cal/mag. Should I add Biobizz Calmag on my first watering?(50% of recommendation for autos?) This one looks already droopy, doesn't it? Think I need to water soon.Feeding. Other

Been flushing for the past week, the larger fan leaves are starting too turn yellow faster than I had anticipated but trich's haven't started turning amber yet. All the other sign's point towards her being about a week away from the chop but I'm a bit worried that I flushed early4y ago

BufferingHi,
I ended up not buffering the COCO as I wasn't aware before I prepared it. I hope the plants survive and be healthy. I bought a Kit with everything but ended up having to buy some more nutrients, I don't know how ignored the buffering phase. Has anyone done the same?Feeding. Other
