AcidFarmeranswered grow question 4 years ago

Hi friend, it seems such a simple question and yet it is not. I realized that trying to get a perfect ph at the input (5.8 / 5.9) lowering it further with the ph down, in addition to fertilizers, then on the soil (coco in my case) it would have "transformed" into very low values even below 4! now I only give fertilizers with an incoming pH of about 6.4 / 6.5 I see that that's okay. so I would say yes. they do their job well ph perfect

Composted soil and pH I read that using composted soil you don't need to stress about pH too much. My water tank gives water at 7.7. Run-off is fairly similar. Should i be trying to adjust this down a little before watering?

Flower N-P-K Is there a good "rule of thumb" N-P-K to start with for flowering? I have a 4-6-3, 3-9-4, and 2-2-2 to mix for various N-P-K's. I'd like to get close to an ideal mix when I top dress in a few weeks. I know fertilizer needs will vary by strain, but I'm interested in a baseline.

Are these pH pens reliable?This pH pen sucks ass! I've purchased calibration liquid at 7.0 and have done calibration for both pens, and prepared another 4.0 solution. one reads 3,8 the other one reads 4,3. My range is already 5.5 - 6.1 = 0.6. How am I supposed to deal with this?😡

Doing a top feed system so the roots will reach the top feed tube in about 2 days if they germinate. Should I do a complete res change or just top up with pH'd RO/distilled water?

Adding P20 and K20 to a 8-0-0 and 0-6-12 A B I'm feeding Bionova Coco Forte A+B which is 8-0-0 and 0-6-12. I'm afraid my buds will be airy due to low P and K dosages. Do you think this will be the case? I was thinking of adding Bionova P20 and K20 to the schedule as she enters flower. Too much or should I go for it?
