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.

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

a friend wants to start with his first plant. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much budget. And through the Corona eruption, he has to work with what he has. As soon as he has the money, he absolutely wants to switch to the right additives. Is it possible to use one of these.

Water
Is it bad to make my water ahead of time ? I mixed my nutrients (big bud, formulex, bud candy & molasses) in with the water & have let it sit out for over a day. I heard letting it sit out gets the chlorine out (I put a towel over it though so my cat/other stuff would get in it)

Adición de Blackstrap Molasses al programa outdoor/soil Biobizz- Try Pack (Fish/Bloom/Top Max). Cual es vuestra opinión?
Al programa Try Pack base Suelo/Outdoor-Fish/Bloom/Max es prejudicial juntar blackstrap molasses? En que cantidad (litro/cuchara té)?Cuando usarlo? Overfert no creo que ocurra, pero será positivo? Acabo de dejar Bionova después 4 semanas de Autoflower Supermix y antes de PK13/14

To much N?
To much N? Fan and sugar seem darker green thinking I gave them to much N, used all purpose along with powerbloom, I'm thinking of cutting out N completely and relying on 2-8-4 instead for my fast autoflowers. Thoughts? Amnesia haze auto and purple Kush auto fem canuk.
