De chlorinate the water let it sit and the bubbles forming is the chlorine,I have been told and I use distilled vinegar from the corner shop for a ph down as my tap water is 7.8 not the best but only adds i find around 2 ml in a litre will drop it to about where i want ideally want to vary it from say 5.8 to 6.5 if using soil i hear its lower for hydro around 5.5 to 6.5 is the range I think,I'm no expert but everything I read says the same where that's concerned.good luck

If your doing organic type grow I think ph is less of an issue but 7.8 is too high for anything else

I am new to cannabis growing, but a seasoned garden grower. So I’ve used this method for years.
You need to buy a bottle of acid. Typically called “pH down”. A quart is about $10 in the US
What I do with my city water is fill up a 5 gallon bucket and let it sit for 24-48hrs to evaporate any of the chemicals. (No need if we’ll water) then I add 2ml, stir and check the pH, repeat as necessary until I get to 6.5.
With the acid, start with small amounts. A tiny bit goes a long way.

Soil Amount Heavily DecreasedHello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

Overwatered cubes in hydro? Too close to the sun? or effect of having addHi All, I have issues with my first hydro grow - i effed up. I think i was too slow in the transfer over in the tank. Light is 200 PPFD, EC at 0.6, and barely added any nutes.
Did i manage to overwater some of these plants by having them too close to the net pot?9 months ago

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?

Hope this is ok to post, looking at having a go at hydro on my next grow mainly to cut down on maintenance. What are people’s thoughts on the two systems one is stranded bubble the other one has a dripper I’m guessing will help at beginning of the grow. Thoughts please 🤙
