PH Levels - Watering vs Runoff

Meeechstarted grow question 4 years ago

After my first transplant, I saturated the grow medium and did a PH test on the runoff. I'm watering with un-PH'd aerated tap water which is naturally at 6.5. The runoff water is coming in at 5.5. Should I alter the PH I'm watering with so the runoff meets my PH target?

No I wouldn't bother at this stage Tbh. Just keep feeding at the correct PH and the soil will eventually level.out around the same . If you ever find your pH run off massively out later on in veg or flower . Just feed extra volume of water/nutes until you have the correct run off PH . There's no point oversaturating the soil at this stage as seedlings really don't need much water .

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder) I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness. I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ? What should I do Thank you

Questions about watering I created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.
