answered grow question 5y 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! 🤟😜

wet/dry cycle from RQS
RQS suggested this wet/dry for Auto.that's okay?for irrigation, when he said 1.5 liters for each day, that means I have to water the plants every day? or is it better to have 4.5 water once every 3 days?And that the amount of irrigation he suggested for 11L pot is not too much?

Dry and Liquid Organic Fertilizers
Hello fellow growers I have been curious if anyone has used both liquid and dry fertilizer in their grow? I am growing in Coco and using a super coco mix with top dress and tea with dry fertilizer. If I add liquid fertilizer would this kill the living microbes in the coco?

Hi, Might be a simple question but I need to make sure. I am using Flora Trio to grow and I am not sure how much nuts I should use. Example, if they say 5ml of each on week 4. If I water 3 times, should o split these mls into the 3 watering or it would be 5ml per watering?Thanks

Ph of biobizz solution
My tap water is usually at 7 / 7.3 PH and I usually drop it to 6.3 / 6.5. Today when I did the mixture of biobizz nutes, the PH dropped to 4 or less. What should I do? I have read to not mess with the ph of organic solutions. I’m using biobizz light mix soil

Hi Gromies. I finally got a TDS meter and my water is 490. That seems higher than average. Will this cause potential issues with growing.

Add weight in flowering?
Would a black strap molasses brewed tea help my buds add weight? I'm using only Fox Farm Trio and CalMag with reverse osmosis water, pH @6-6.5. While I have atleast 2 weeks left I'd like to get the most weight possible, if there is anything I can do this late in flower that is.
