How should I store my water?

Gunmetalstarted grow question 5y ago

I have a 5 gal. bucket I want to keep prepared (ph, nutes, etc). 2 days ago I used pH Down to bring my pH from 8.2 to 6.8. I used about 1 ml/gal. I put an airstone in and loosley put the lid on. 2 days later my water has a weird smell, is cloudy and has white floaties. ph is 8.5

Hey there! I wouldn't use that water just in case. Also, I wouldn't ph the water untill feeding, as it can fluctuate over time. Also not a good idea to premix nutes. Nutrients will also change your ph, so it's a good idea to wait some time untill after your nutes are added to ph your water. I fill my buckets a day or two before feed and let them sit, as they release chlorine. As far as I know, there's no need to add anything to them untill feeding time. Happy growing!

Forgot to alter pH Hi I forgot to alter the pH. I already have some issues (I think pH? Check picture). What’s worse, overwatering or too high pH? Do I need to flush ASAP or wait till next watering cycle? The pH of the water I used is 7,7 and I have organic potting soil so is it a big deal or not?

Did I give too much fertilizer??So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).

Diamond black vs. Diamond nectar by GHE Hi everyone, I've read Diamond nectar is very good. But I noticed there is a very similar product from the same brand: diamond black. I was wondering what's the difference, and which one would be the best in an indoor grow in coco with high frequency fertigation. Thanks
