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! 🤟😜

Switching to bloom nutes!
Is it best to use flawless finish before switching to bloom nutes ? Or to just simply start the bloom nutes at a tiny dosage with the next veg feed?! Also when’s a good telling sign to start when see first pistils or when I’m happy with growth?

Compost Tea Advice: Throw away the leftover amendments or use as top-dress?
Upcoming compost tea planning (first use of tea methodology): Fish bone meal, angel's touch, lobster compost, molasses, and recharge. Any thoughts on this combination? Also, what do you do w/ the leftover amendments in the bag? Throwing them away seems like a waste, no?

Feeding with dense roots?
So I'm using 5 and 7 gallon pots and I'm using Gaia greens and some worm poo for my feed but once they start to take off into flower, all of my dry amendments build up on top bc of the roots. I want to stay organic but how can I feed these girls once the roots block up the pot?

Dry power vs Liquid fertilizer
Do dry fertilizers (like the powders you mix with your soil and topdress) give as good of a result as liquids? And I will be doing my first grow this year outside in the ground (not in a pot) do you recomend powder or liquid? And if so what powder fertilizer do you recomend?

Should I flush? I messed up...
Too much nutrients? 24-8-16 for early to mid flower. Will this negatively impact me and does that mean I should flush? I thought the blend was a 4-8-6...

Outdoor Hempy Bucket fertilizer use?
Added perlite and clay mix to a 10L outdoor hempy bucket, with Skunky Lady on top. Curious about hydroponics fertilizer use outdoors, should it be added early or wait for some growth when the roots hit the reservoir? Seems like it would be wasted if I add it early on....

Thoughts on adding GH FloraBloom 0-5-4
1st time grower here- Good idea to add this nute to my almost 4 week old autoflower top-down? I'm using a wicking tub with ocean forest potting mix, that has a layer of fertilizer more rich in nitrogen. They seem happy, would hate to overdo it. Haven't watered them in 2 weeks.
