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.

Triches are mostly milk. About the same number of ambers as there are clears. Will I always find clear triches? Especially when im looking inside deep in the bud. Or I should be able to wait til there are almost none? Assuming she is a week or less than 2 from harvest.

Whats good amount of light?
Whats a good amount of light? I heard 45,000 lux is a good amount. But to get that much from my light I'd have to have it 20cm give or take away from the top of the plant. Is that not to close? Or would that be fine? Using 450 watt led. She is a auto if that makes a difference.
