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! 🤟😜

Is it time to switch nutrients? Pre-flowering?
Now that she is showering her pistils, does this mark the beginning of pre-flowering? Also should I begin the switch from vegetative nutrients to flowering nutrients or keep with the vegetative nutrients until more pistils show?

Can I use this as a top dressing ? If yes, do I put it on top before or after watering ? Sorry if this seems daft, I'm used to bottled nutes
Great white shark Can I use this stuff as a top dressing ?? I've been thinking of doing so, but I'm worried it may affect the pH. I've been adding it to the water before feeding.

If my compost pile has bugs, will my compost tea transfer bug eggs to my soil in an indoor grow?
I started a compost heap in the heat outside and added kitchen waste (fruit, veggies, fan leaves, egg shells, leaves). The heap has a lot of bug activity but far less since i put it in the heat. Is it safe to brew compost tea or will i transfer bug eggs to my soil?

PH Tanking in Late Flower
6 days ago, 350ppm constant but PH starting dropping hard. Did nutrient change and things stabilized for a bit at 250ppm. Yesterday, same thing occurring with PPM/PH. Roots are fine, PPM now at 200. Is she being underfed now at this stage of flower? Lower PPM more? Start flush?

When to introduce nutrients to coco / perlite and how to water seedling?
Hi!! I am doing my first ever grow. When should I introduce nutrients to my plants in coco? They have just sprouted and I was only giving them some water with H2O2 at a PH of 6.2. For a seedling, do I need to water until I get runoff? Thank you!

Confused about PPM and pre-amended soil and knowing which ppm to sart feeding.
What should my ppm be when I began to start feeding nutrients? My soil has nutrients pre-amended for the first 3 weeks, it's been three weeks and it's 1800 (my tap water is 200). That seems pretty high for 3 weeks after the plants have been in the soil. Thanks!
