What causes hydro Ph fluctuations early in the grow?
OrihimeDeltastarted grow question 3 years ago
What causes dramatic ph fluctuations in hydro conditions so early in the grow, and how can I mitigate it? I have hard water, so I know that’s part of the issue (I tried to install a RO system recently and failed miserably). Other than frequent testing & additives, what can I do?

Hi!
You might need to add some pH buffers to the solution and I'm using potassium silicate (liquid silicon). Basically you need to have either strong acid and alkaline stuff to make the pH "stronger" and it wont change so much

Just stunted? Or will I lose whole grow?5 weeks into flower, 3 to go.
Autoflower grown in soil.
Kept in outside shed, with 400w HPS and electric heater.
Struggling to keep temps up above 10°c. It's not killing it, but perhaps stunting growth. A hardy strain.
Will it still convert THC or am I risking losing whole plant?2 years ago

1st time grower - nute burn? Lockout? Potassium def? Light burn? HELP PLEASEExperiencing some deficiencies/light burn/heat stress. Says SSH likes hot/moist climate. Plants are planted in FFOF Soil, fed them 15oz of nutes yesterday. Using advanced nutrient systems, see above. Light is a SF1000 LED meant for a 2x2 tent. Would that burn them hanging at 20”?

Hungry? N deficiency?So this sort of just happened overnight. Plants were very thirsty this morning and noticed a handful of leaves that are fading.
I fed them 1tbs of dr earths flower girl and 4ml of calmag in a gallon split between the 2. Should I add some of their 4-4-4 as well?

Airy buds or just genetics?How does my bud development seem to you?
Trichomes aplenty but I feel the leaf to callyx ratio is pretty poor?
Perhaps due to something I've done/not done, or simply a predisposition of its genetics?
Trichomes still 90% clear.
Likely to fatten up in next few weeks as trichs turn?
