GMSgrowsanswered grow question 4 years ago Hey.
When the nute company's say a range of 5.5 to 6.5 or something like that, when in hydroponics, doesn't mean that you keep it within that range the entire grow. For veg the ph range is 5.5 to 6.0, lower and upper level for vegging. Sweet spot in hydroponics is 5.7 to 5.8. When you switch to flower the ph gets adjusted into the flowering range, which is 6.0 to 6.5, lower and upper levels for flowering. The sweet spot being 6.2 to 6.3. Hope this helps... Cheers
