PH down
the_bushdoctorstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello everyone, I have a question on cation exchange.
I want to use hydrochloric acid as a PH down. However I want to know how this will affect my plant. In water the chloride ions create the acidic environment however I do not know what will happen in soil and nutrient uptake.

That I wouldn't do. If need a cheap pH down solution use 🍋 lemon juice. 1tbsp:1gal = 1point.

Hey friend, I was also facing with high pH soil and high pH run off.But I don’t use any pH down solution or hydrochloric acid.I use coconut water and egg shell with vinegar(Protect from bloosom end root and calcium deficiency).They have so many benefits for your plant.I always adjust my water pH to 5.5~6.5 with those two above whenever I water and I don’t having any problems after that even though my run off pH still around 7.0.Before it was 7.7~8.4.Hope it will help.Happy Growing.. ✌️

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

How much do you feed them extra-PK with Biotabs ?I use Biotabs : Mycotrex, Bactrex, Orgatrex, Startrex with a light mix soil and light water (0.08 to 0.1 ec). Some people told me I shouldn't put much PK 5-8 because they easily burn. How much and how often would you feed them PK ? I use blumats with plain water in 6.5L pots, thx

FOAM in the DWC tankHi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank.
I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?

Runoff pH still climbing!My runoff PH keeps climbing despite lowering water pH. Plants look great but have red stems.
Is it possible that the bottom of my fabric pots are saturated with excess Calcium and Diatomaceous Earth? Thus, raising my runoff PH. Soil meter reads 6.8 though 🤔

Is it sign of pre-flower? Should I add Bud Ignitor?Hello, is it what I'm thinking about?:P
Should I start adding nutrients from 1st bloom week chart?
If yes - full dose from begging or partially increase the dose?
2 will be added: Voodoo Juice will come back for 2 weeks and Bud Ignitor.
Don't want to miss the proper time for it?
