Go slow on how much you give them. Overfeed and your harvest will suffer. A little underfed is always the best way to go for big buds. Cheers

PPM. 6/6,5 PH waterings or too frequent waterings?
I just had a long ass session in my tent, because of increasingly higher PPM. Coco in 10gal, is every day irrigation too much? Should be said that the pot is nowhere near dry after 24hrs. Or my initial idea, 6,5 PH every other watering being too high leading to lockout? Thankss

Does Liquide phenol red work to check the water PH?
Liquide Phenol red is the cheapest alternative ive got. It should range between 6 and 8. But it say s for uses at pools and hot tubs, should be more or less accurate and get the job done right? As i can easily see diferences between 6.0 and 7.0? Thank you! :D

Bio bizz nutes
Hi all using bio bizz nutes currently using bio grow , the bio bizz feeding schedule says that the grow should be used throughout and to add bloom when first sign of flowering starts is this correct or should I stop the grow and only use the bloom when flowering starts thanks🤙

Droopy plant
First thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloom

Suggestions of nutrient combinations with GH Flora series
Is it suggested that I grow with more than just the GH Flora Series (e.g. add Floralicious, Diamond Nectar, Cal-Mag) etc.) with my setup. I am using WaterFarm Hydro Single with ~150 ppm well water. Would like to produce some scrumptious buds!

My first grow. I've been flushing my DWC Blue Dream for 4 days now and no sign at all of leaves turning yellow. Everything is still nice and green. Does it start from the bottom? How many days is normal?
