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??

我的女孩怎麼了,這個是生病了嗎?還是太多的餵食?
This phenomenon appeared when it grew its second set of leaves, but there are leaves only on one side. I checked some information and it seems like Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). I think it looks quite similar. But I'm not very sure, should I wait a few more days? Or should I cut the leaves off? Can anyone tell me the solution? I hope it can make it through the

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :c
Runoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.

Good Nutrient Mixture For GH Flora
My outdoors are transitioning and I got GH Flora Series (Micro, Gro, Bloom). I mixed 2.5ml of each into 1 gallon of water (4 L) and spread that across my 4 plants. I feel like this was too little? What is a good general mixture for 1 plant, or is it better to make a bigger batch?

I only have Plagron grow left and no bloom anymore, now they are just starting to flower. Would it make such a big difference if I continued to give grow until the end? I'm supplementing this with Green Sensation and Sugar Royal. Cheers

I’m using fox farm nutrients. How much do I use & do I pour it in my water? Do I ph balance my water after I’ve added it if so? Can I mist nutrients over the leaves or is it only for the soil ? Last, when do I switch from grow big to the others ?
