started grow question 5y 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.

What Ph should I water my Autos at? Considering this substrate and the previous problems I had with it ?
I grow in this substrate, is it considered soil or coco ? What Ph should I water it at ? Had loads of problems in first grow with nutes due to over feeding which lowered my run off Ph to 4.7 and gave me problems. This time I will go slow with those but at what Ph? 🙏

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?
I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thx

Which feeding recipe for auto in preflowering/flowering would you choose? PH Perfect Grow, Bloom, Micro supplements.
Hello! I'm going to switch the feeding of my auto to flowering soon. I don't like the ratios recommended by AN, since it's for photoperiodic plants, that require more feeding. I calculated few recipes. Using soft water, so need more Cal/Mg. Want to hear your opinions/suggestions.

How to control EC
My EC is higher then recommended or I'm reading it wrong. I have been told to add water to my reservoir to lower EC, yet with my well water the EC is already high. Can someone help enlighten me? Using a hydroponic circulating system (DWC with a top feed).

Runoff pH still climbing!
My runoff PH keeps climbing despite lowering water pH. Plants look great but have red stems. Is it possible that the bottom of my fabric pots are saturated with excess Calcium and Diatomaceous Earth? Thus, raising my runoff PH. Soil meter reads 6.8 though 🤔

i don't know where the fault lies, my plant is growing too slowly and the leaves on the buds are deformed. The last time I tested the soil pH was 7.5 even though I watered at 6.5 and the runoff ppm was 1800. Can anyone tell me what I should do now to make the plants grow well.

Potassium soil with neem oil and kelp extract as a foliar spray on seedlings
I have doubts about applying some foliar sprays. I've used Neem Oil + Potassium Soap with some kelp liquid extract, together without any issues. The benefit of using it now is obvious, but, are my seedlings too small to handle foliar sprays? Could I harm them if I apply this mix?

Why does coco nutes often only have one A B blend, instead of 2 seperate Veg and Bloom blends?
I personally use Plagron nutes in coco, hence I use the same A+B bottles for veg and flower. When looking at nutes for soil they have the 2 different bottles for veg vs bloom. So my question here is why does it seem like some coco lines(plagron, canna) only have 1 over both?
