pH level on a coconut substrate = depends on the balance between potassium-sodium and calcium-magnesium.
If the balance is maintained, the pH level will be good.
Use coco fertilizers, add cal-mag and silicate, feed well = and all be good.
and if you see a low pH in drainage = this indicates problems with feeding.

Hi mate, you dont need to check the substrate but you are required to maintain it between 5.5-6.5PH bracket. More specifically 5.8-6.0 for veg is optimal and 6.0-6.2 for flower. Most people monitor this via the runoff.
Hope this helps 🙂

I would say its always advisable to monitor your ph in any media you grow in. If the ph ain't in range then the plants will have problems.

The simple answer is that PH doesn't matter when you grow using organic amendments in COCO. However it appears you are using synthethic nutrients so you will most certainly need to PH around 6

My tent is 32"x32"x63". I've only ever done one plant at a time. This time I am attempting to share the tent with a hydroponic grow in a 5-gallon bucket. I normally grow soil in a 5-gallon smart pot. Should I use a 3-gallon instead? Last grow the 1 hydro filled the tent.Week 2

Encouraging heightI just raised my 900w led to 39". Feeding every day about .3 liter. It looks like she will have 8 main colas after the 4-way top but I'm concerned about height. Should I wait for 4 nodes on the new colas and then switch to flower maybe? Thanks for the great advice as always!

Isolating grow tent humidityI recently got a humidifier as my tents RH was 25% with no correction. When I first put it in it didnt do much because of my exhaust fan. Untill the room it vented into was the RH I wanted my tent to be it didnt stabalize. I dont want the whole room at 60% RH though. Advice?Setup. Other

Hydroponics and tent height issuesI'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?Week 1

Plastic grow bags. What's the deal?So I'm using plastic grow bags. They seem to hold moisture a lot more than fabric grow bags.
Might have to cut more holes in them or just use them for transplanting clones or something.
Anyone use these? What are they good for? Suggestions?
