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

Flushing or feeding
Im already flushing the plant for 2 weeks but as the Trichomes are not changing much it will need some more time to fully develop. I want to see some (10%) amber trichomes.What should I do now? Continue flushing or give some organic nutrients again? Probably need 2 weeks more.

Advanced nutrients in soil runoff
Advanced nutrients in soil. Hey, so I'm using advice nutrients line (sensi) in biobizz soil (light and all mix 50/50.) Anyway my runoff is always 5.8PH I'm guessing this is due to the PH perfect technology. My soil is buffered to 6.2PH and I always PH up to 6.3/6.4...

How do you keep pH from rising so fast in DWC bucket with air stone? In less than a few hours it can go from 5.5 to 6.5 within 2 days it's 8.5 which is my what my tap water is naturally. Is an auto pH adjuster the only other option to keep it from rising ?
