Holy Jesus yes that’s waaaay too low, I would bump it back up to 6.4 ish. As the other gentleman said you will need to flush that with a lot of water to get it back in range

Yes. It may be in your best interest to flush with pH'd water.

COCO Bricks / No Buffering
Has anyone ever planted on coco bricks without buffering the coco and only adding water? I don't think my bricks were pre-buffered. If you have mistaken and done like me, have your plants survived, and were they healthy?

Brownish algae like things floating in fresh 2 days old water
Hi guys. Since day one of my current grow I have issues with water. 2 days after cleaning 2 reservoirs (only with water and a sponge) I see this brownish algae like things floating around and this happens for the third time in a row in the last 2-3 weeks. How to get rid of them?

It’s my first time using mammoth 🐘 and I’m not really sure how I should adjust my nutrients. Should I go heavy with the mammoth and lighter on the nectar?

Power Outage
Not much of a question as a disappointment... I’m one of 850,000 without power. Powers been out for 24 hours, today is Tuesday, and they are saying it might be back by Saturday. Major let down, because my plants can’t just be brought outside in the sun. Anyone else?

Opinions needed
I did a successful harvest of runtz muffin and took cuts, now the cuttings at day 18 of flower i noticed balls. This was down to very low night temps 12C and day temps of 26. Now do I throw away all the other cuts I have off those or use them taking more care? Options please👍

Are we Twins? would we make a good couple? who are we lol?
Essentially is the same nutrient correct? From my understanding, a PK booster is usually thrown in the middle of the flower cycle for about 2 - 3 wks. I've also noticed it rarely cut out. Can/would you mix the product lines? what weight differences have you seen with use?

Watering
Hey Buds, I have been giving my plant one day of dry soil before watering again, is this enough? Or should a plant have a longer dryer soil period? Thank you

Is pollen from male viable/usable for pollination as soon as pollen sacks are visible?
Can I harvest pollen as soon as pollen sacks are visible? or does it need time to mature while on plant? plan to dry out and save some branches from males for possible breeding later down the road. Don't wanna wait too long and risk accidental pollination of outdoor fems thanks!
