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.

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.

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.

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.
