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.

Harvest and Varying Trichomes
For one of my OG Kush Autos, the trichomes on the main cola are clear/cloudy and the pistils are half white, half brown. BUT, some of the trichomes on the sugar leaves on one the lower colas are amber. What's the move? Chill out? Wait for the bud trichomes? Partial chop?

Water Hash: dry or fresh trimming leaves?
Hello, I will make some water hash as Frenchy Cannoli do. But my question is: should I use fresh or dried trim leaves? I usually do it with dried leaves, last time I tried with some fresh leaves but I get less results... Leaves are always kept in the freezer, even dry or fresh

Sugar leaves affected- 6th week of flowering
If you have a look at the 7.5lt one, the sugar leaves affected by a deficiency, I was thinking of CAL... Considering I'm pretty close to the harvest time, shall I simply flush and switch to plain water to be on the safe side?
