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! 🤟😜

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feeding
Having difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses. One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farms

Foliar spray in DWC
Can you use a foliar spray made from organics (fulvic and humid acid, potash, sea kelp, wetting agent) in a DWC? Or is using any organic material more trouble than it's worth? Is week 3 too early for foliar spraying? Hoping to green my thumb a bit. Thanks

I just gave some Canna PK (25 days since 12/12). Is it too early ? Bruce Banner 60-65 days of flowering
Closed irrigation hydro system with clay balls. If it is too soon, will I have issues ? And what PH do you use ? I read it should be 6.3-6.4 at this stage but Canna advises 6.2 max. Thanks !

Co² tabs for water feeding
Do you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots. They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.

Recharge vs Great white
I'm currently debating real growers recharge and great white. I'm using recharge but am curious if great white is a better product, or can they be used in conjunction? The interwide googly web doesn't seem to have a direct answer maybe I have just over looked it. Happy Gardening
