answered grow question 6y ago
Yes, this is a little low, your soil is slightly acidic at this reading. Try and aim for 6.5 - 6.8. But adjust this gradually over a few days, trying to change the ph too much in one go can really freak your plant out. Hope this helps.... Organoman.

flash photos in the dark hours
I got a doubt (probably very stupid) and it is: photographing the plant with the flash in the dark hours do not risk confusing and stressing it?

Hey Growmies ☺️ Has anyone had problems with their bud testing at higher levels for metal? I was told not to use Ocean Forest or Tiger Bloom bc it causes elevated levels (for medical) I personally haven’t had my weed tested, just wondering if anyone else has heard of this?

Que sucede si en floración, faltando algunos días a la cococha, se baja el tiempo de luz, por ej. A 8 hr luz y 16 hr oscuridad. Se consigue acelerar la maduración de los tricomas?

move from outdoor (greenhouse) to indoor
I had to move my plants into the house. The weather is not good, heavy rain, no sun and low temperatures at night. I bought simple LED lights (red spectrum)and shine on the plants for about 5 hours a day. Do you have any tips, advice on what else I can do for my plants? Thank you

sensor light
What you think guys, can the light of the CO2 sensor disturb the plants in the dark period ? It has a really weak green light on it, but still. What kind of light are you using when you have to work on them in the dark period, before the light goes on ? Thanks.
