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.

How do I make this bonsai stretch more
Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if there's a way to make her stretch more. She's not growing very fast, which makes sense, but I just need those two branches to stretch as much as possible. Hoping someone might have some tips and/or tricks! 🙏

Co2
Co2 in a small grow room, is it needed? Seen diy mushroom bags, but wouldn’t I lose any co2 made through my Exhaust? (Turn exhaust off? Or don’t even worry about it.) Hope this isn’t a stupid question.?

Leaves lowering after 15h of light. Longer dark period?
If a plant starts lowering its leaves towards the end of its light cycle to indicate it is "done for the day", is that a sign to change the light cycle to a longer dark period? Autoflower currently on 18/6 lowering leaves after approx 15h of light.

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?
Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks? I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

Are there major differences between the various brands of pH Down? What should I look for in the labelling? I've even heard of quick dissolve tablets to add to the fish tank to auto balance the pH. What have been your experiences? Thanks.

Diferencias alimentaciĂłn sodio a led
Es verdad que con los leds el tema de la alimentaciĂłn es diferente al sodio? SegĂşn he visto en foros hay bastantes comentarios sobre que al cambiar de sodio a led las plantas comen bastante más. Alguien ha observado que las nenas pedĂan más comida que con sodio?
