How to get PH down
Blind_japanesestarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi everyone
Her run off water is around PH 7.1 so I'm watering this plant with 5.8 PHed solution (biobizz and ph down). Despite of it I am not getting down the run off PH. What should I do to solve this problem?
PS - I have already flushed her with 2.5 liters of 5.8 PH water.

A little boric acid citric acid or just flush with the ph you want until it runs out at that ph. Cheers

Do you know the PPM of your run off? My understanding is when you flush soil, you strip it of all the nutrients in the soil.. this will increase the pH of the soil. it's the fert in soil that causes pH to be what it is. if you wash out more fert, your pH will stay higher than you want. worry more about fert content. now you should let the soil dry out because it's not good to keep it wet for a long period. chances are your leaves will go yellow because of the lower fert content now. Raise your PPM back to what it needs to be. And don't drink the Bloom-aid. He's gonna kill way to many plants this month.. 👊

Soil Amount Heavily DecreasedHello everyone, I'm almost at the end of my first grow and I've noticed that the amount of soil in my pots compacted pretty heavily. How do I avoid this problem in my next grow? (Pictures show the beginning and the current state of the soil; ~ -7cm soil height)

PH-Problems in SoilBefore repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?

What and why?What are these and do I need to address it?
I'm a couple of weeks in to my grow and just spotted these little critters when I was cleaning my run off saucers. I'm guessing there's more inside the soil are they harmful to my plants?

Mold on soilI used BioBizz LightMix with Monsterbud Mix from Amnesia and some mycorrhiza in the hole of the seed. 3 seeds after 3 days still not germinated in soil. Had foil on top of the pots for humidity. Probably watered a bit too much. What should I do and will my seeds still germinate?
