Soil PH continually dropping after topdressing with lime
Closet01started grow question 5y ago
My Soil PH drops fairly quick over the week from 6.5-7 all the way to 4.5/5, is there something I’m missing? I’ve been keeping a close eye on it and adding a few tablespoons of dolomite lime when needed but is this something I’m going to have to continually do or?

When you mix your nutrients with your water are you PH adjusting? If so what are you adjusting to?

As for the dolomite lime, it takes a couple weeks to break down so you won’t see anything right away. You should only have to top dress it once using about 2 tablespoons per gallon of soil.

Dont feed anything now until you see flowers the size of buttons. Then start your bloom nutes. You'll have a lot of nutes in your soil now from overfeeding. Cheers

Yes, if it keeps dropping you will need to adjust. If your feeding your girl by the bottle and not by measuring your ec levels, this is why your ph keeps dropping. Ifmyour feeding by the label, only feed at half the rate. Ifmyour feeding by ec them you want your ec around 2.0 for dirt. Cheers

what is the best way to prune a plant?What happens if I cut 4-8 cores? and I'll hold it for a week. Does this manipulation make sense? Or is it better to cut everything in one go? It's just that on the main stakes, the trichomes are already dark brown, and at the bottom of the bush they are still half transparent.Week 18

Terpenes or Sativa/Indica?I believe in Sativa/Indica
But new trend seems to be that all cannabis is the same and only terpene profile spesifies your high. Is this the truth?
To prove it I could add some hops with specific terpenes to any weed and this would alter my high? Hop has same terpenes as weed btwOther. Other

Judging Harvest dayI've been watching the trics on my crit xxl closely, I now have 30% clear 50% cloudy 20% amber.
I'm on day 62 from flipping, day 52 from noticing first pistils. I flushed twice in the last week, but am still seeing new growth.
Should I wait another week before chopping?

Flowering. 19 days left supposedly : are the trichomes already milky?Many pistils are getting dark and it seems some trichomes are already milky but I'm not sure. I had many setbacks during the grow but I didn't think a plant would be that early. How much time do I have left ? I didnt start senescence yet (end of week)
