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

Do I need to Ph water using super soil
Do I need to PH my water before using with organic super soil? I'm using Coast Of Maine Stonington Blend and they say just add water for growing cannabis using 15 gallon pot. Anyway I was wondering do I need to PH my water before watering my plants? Thank you. Happy growing!

Reservoir PH dropping to fast
I have been having issues with my reservoir Ph dropping from 6.2 down to around 4.8-5.2 with in 24-48hours currently around 22c water temp and a micro recirculation pump (has a air input lead, if that's what you call them) but is always closed. Any help would be a massive help.

Water uptake slowed considerably. D83 DWC Auto.
Water uptake has slowed considerably this last week. From what I understand this is expected as she finishes her life cycle. Should I continue res changes at full strength or lower the nute ratio to match her uptake? Trichs are still clear/cloudy with little amber.

Water ph for promix Bx (soiless peat).. also can fert for soil work with promix bx?
Hi, if anyone familiar with promix bx, it is mostly peat so it count as soiless medium. So can I use soil nuts or hydro nuts? I currently only have soil nuts can it work if I adjust it to hydro ph(5.8-6.2)? And should the ph be hydro (5.7-6.2) or soil ph (6.5)? Confused, pls help

any other feeding recommendations?
For my next grow I'm gonna do something very similar. I used Canna A+B, with about 8 feeds of PK and a little Cannazym. Does anyone know what else I could use to supplement the feeding, preferably from Canna? My main issue is the looseness of buds.
