theGreek
started grow question 6y ago
Is it safe to lower the water PH with freshly squeezed lemon juice? Tap water is at 7.5, I am thinking of adding lemon juice to bring it down to 6. 5.

subo el ph de mi agua de riego con bicarbonato de sodio pero me sube mucho el ec de mi agua.
Now I have the plants in the 3rd week of flowering. The EC of the watering water with fertilizer is 2.01, and when I raise the pH with baking soda, it goes up to 2.72. Can I over-fertilize the plants with this? Can I use something else to raise the pH without increasing the EC??

Is Co2 enhancer worth it
Hey have any of you guys used the co2 enhancer thing they sell online or at some gardening store. I know for sure it can do a difference in veg phase but growing hydroponically and growing auto already gives me fast and strong vegetative grow so should i even bother?

1 week into flowering, no pistils on preflowers yet. Change to flower nutes, or what?
Hi guys a couple of questions: 1) When should I change to flowering nutes? I heard high nitrogen can hold back flower formation. 2) Should I be concerned or look out for anything else? Background: - 1 week after flipping to 12/12 - Very vigorous and healthy (in DWC with CO2)

Molasses
Molasses when watering or no ? I know people use it for compost tea & flushing but I’ve been using it in my water (1 tbsp) for past few watering. Should I do this or just use it for flushing?

feeding great on a really low EC at 0.8, but i see other grows at pushing 1.5 at the same week. im flooding (Oxygen Pot w/ hydroton) every 4 hours, which feels pretty often. are the amount of floods proportionate to the EC? ex. if i flood less then my ec should be set higher?

EC value
Hi again! Found this EC table on RQS, according to this I should have an EC of around 2.2 this stage. I feel like this is a bit high. I checked other grows on this forum and I don't see many going over 2. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
