Cheap PH down?
smokeyspartacus
started grow question 6y ago
Is it just me or is GHE/AT PH Down very diluted? I started with gGrowth Technology which is 81%. TA PH down has nothing stated on the bottle... What do you use as the cheapest way to get PH down in circulating hydroponics/DWC?

Not sure if it works with hydro/DWC but citric acid is a cheap pH down. It’s water soluble so I’d imagine it be ok. Worked great for my organic grows.

I ran out of pH down buffer last week, so I haven't been lowering my pH in the last few weeks. The water I'm working with has a 7 pH level. Would this be ok until harvest or should I get more buffer solution?

Is my EC ok for plain water?
Stupid question but the EC on my meter is it 0.3 or 3.7? I never really minded the EC just ppm as I grow in canna Coco plus but now I'm wondering if the EC is actually right. PH is usually 6.3-6.4.

Weekly flushes to reduce EC?
I’m in week 5-6 flower and feeding quite heavily. My hydro shop bloke advised feeding heavy based on the feed chart and then reducing the ec to 1 or less than 1.0 weekly before making changes to the ec based on the chart. Is this plausible?

Watering bottom up?
On my Sohum soil pack it says for flowering to water bottom up. Is this as simple as filling a container of water and submerging the plant, instead if watering manually from top down?

How much does the fox farm trio affect pH and how much pH up (or down) would be needed for correct pH of a 7.0 gallon water.
Anybody here grow outdoors in soil and use fox farm products? I was wondering if someone could approximate how much 2tbsp big bloom, 2 grow big, 1 tiger bloom would lower a neutral 7.0 gallon of water. I have drops but it's hard to see after adding bb. No meter. No money 4 one.

Soil getting less
As everybody knows, when we watering soil, it gets more less in every watering. If I add soil when it gets less, will it be a problem ? Because I'm using Plagron Light Mix, it has fertilizer.
