Does PH down solution keep the PH down for extended periods of time?When i use vinegar to lower the PH of my tap water, over the next few days the PH increases again. If i use an actual PH down solution (such as future harvest citrus down) does it lower the PH and stay down?Feeding. Other

Co² tabs for water feedingDo you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots.
They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.Feeding. Other

I grow one plant in a five-gallon grow bag filled with coco coir. I water her everyday and on every third day I feed her with my nutrient solution. Everything so far has been good - growth, color. The pH and PPM of solution is 6.5/ @1500. What do you do when growing in coco?Week 5

Half way done week 3 of flower. Just wondering if there are different nutrients I should be adding. I'm using general hydroponics. Just using what it says to on the bottle for feeding. Do the bud candy add that much growth? Blackstrap molasses to water? When? Any advice please?Week 9
