Soil ph changes over time. The best way to fix it in soil is to make sure you are getting 20 % runoff every time you water. You can also adjust feed ph to 6.8 to speed up the process slightly. Happy growing.

Sugar in feed water (every feed?)
So the person I got clones off told me to add maple sugar to my feed water. 1-tbls a gallon . Never heard this before and he didn't explain why. Does anyone do this ? N IF SO, what's the purpose of the sugar (said regular sugar would be fine also) do it every watering ?

Nutrients / budlets
Hi, do I have to use bloom nutes to avoid popcorn buds and budlets, or is my coco coir, rich topsoil and small amount of nutes enough for it to flower well and plump up?

Help me avoid over/underwatering my girls..
Almost done with 1st week, watering my girls 50-60ml each, once a day in 2L pots. It's 28C (80F), humidity around 65. I check the soil (1inch deep) but still feels a little wet even after one day.(despite little water and 80F) Should I still water them as they are still seedling?

PH concern
I've been measuring my nutrients solution PH and it's between 6 and 6.5, but after a couple of days my soul is up to 8. Is this normal? I don't want to overwater trying to take ph down, nor do I want to kill microfungi with acid. Any suggestions?

Plant still green after flushing
It's day 8 of my flush and the plant is still green, did i mess something up? I flushed it with 10L of tap water and 5 L of ph'D water to around 6.3 pH. I measured EC of the run off and it measures the same μS of the water that went in, maybe varies here and there by 0.1μS.

Could it be beneficial to add CO2 into the water supply just a theory I had and wondering if anyone else has had the same idea and tested it.
Hi I've got a bit of a theoretical question that I'm wondering if it would be benifical if i used a CO2 canister likes used in the soda machines to carbonate water and used to it to inject CO2 into water supply to give it extra CO2. Would it be a bad idea or it could be good?

Calmag overdose
I was stoned and accidentally added way too much calmag to my distilled water when watering yesterday. I meant to add 2 ml into a gallon but instead added 20 ml. I poured 3 gallons of Distilled water through today trying to dilute. Am I screwed now? Is my plant going to die?

LEAF DROOP: How much droop is normal between watering?
Some of my Cinderella99s are droopy. Based on touching the soil, I would wait another day to water, but the leaves say otherwise. What do you think about this?
