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.

Milorganite- has anyone tried it on cannabis?
Has anyone ever used Milorganite on their grow? I have used it on my lawn many years and it turns the lawn a beautiful green. The best part about Milorganite is if you pour a lot on your lawn it does not burn your lawn at all. I know some people use it in their vegetable beds.

I was always wondering if im calculating nutrient mix right. For example: My tap water is 350 ppm. In late veg i should feed 800 ppm mix. How should i mix? : 1. 350 ppm tap + 450 ppm nutes = 800 ppm mix OR 2. 350 ppm tap + 800 ppm nutes = 1150 ppm mix I always mixed "1" way

BioBizz vs Plagron
Which one do you think is better for a plant during flowering? BioBloom NPK 2-7-4, would give it together with fishmix AlgaBloom NPK 3-2-5, would feed only with it

Flower N-P-K
Is there a good "rule of thumb" N-P-K to start with for flowering? I have a 4-6-3, 3-9-4, and 2-2-2 to mix for various N-P-K's. I'd like to get close to an ideal mix when I top dress in a few weeks. I know fertilizer needs will vary by strain, but I'm interested in a baseline.

I’m out of BioHeaven
I’m out of Bio-Heaven and I wonder whether it’s worth getting some more, given that I’ll probably flush the plants within a few weeks and only use water then. Plus it’s quite expensive compared to BioGrow, BioBloom or TopMax… Any ideas or maybe an organic substitute? Thanks!

PPMs are running high during germination
My PPMs are reading 600 in the DWC reservoir, which seems high. Tap water reads 380 normally. Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?

Are these pH pens reliable?
This pH pen sucks ass! I've purchased calibration liquid at 7.0 and have done calibration for both pens, and prepared another 4.0 solution. one reads 3,8 the other one reads 4,3. My range is already 5.5 - 6.1 = 0.6. How am I supposed to deal with this?😡
