Nutes tend to bring down your pH. There are a few exceptions like silica, but the big 3 pretty much always bring your pH down (unless your water is already acidic as in the case of acid rain collection). You can be pretty confident that your pH was good after you added nutes and if your runoff is at 6.5, then don't change a thing. Keep growing!

Soil is a natural ph buffer, i suggest u only bio ph- unless they are full of chemical salts and u are better with straight tap water

You ph test after adding nutrients. I use GHE and my ph is always bang on. So if you didn't check ph after adding the nutrients the feeding could have been in the correct range.

Ph changed from 6.3 to 6.8 two days after adding nutes/vinegar to bring ph down. Tested too soon? How long to wait to check water ph after treatment?Water that i had ph’d was sitting at 6.3 had jumped to 6.8 two days later. I’m assuming its because when I mixed i tested immediately after without letting sit for a while (shook jug after adding vinegar/nutes ~30 sec). Curious if i tested too soon or it adjusted while settling

Increase nutrition?Should I up the nutes? I’ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. I’ve read that after first week of 1/4 up it to 1/2, but from what I can see (foliage pic added) everything looks like it’s quite healthy. Will plant benefit with more or should I stay as I am? Cheers

7 years old BIOBIZZ I have 2 of bottles of BIOBIZZ nutes but very old (7 years). They were in a cold, dark place all that time. It doesnt smell bad or doesnt look bad either, maybe tiny bit of solidified stuff at the bottom but nothing major. How safe is it to use these? whats worst that can happen?

Vote Feeding bloom nutes in veg stage I was just wondering why some people feed their plants bloom nutrients during the veg stage. I see people adding it to their grow nutrients and supplements and I’m just wondering why or if it’s something I should have been doing all along.

How long left?Hey all, first grow seems to be going ok, despite me being clueless! Now at 8 weeks and 2 days and wondering how long I’ve got left? RQS say 9-10 weeks total. Still a bit to go - only a few hairs turning brown but would really value input on when to stop nutes? Thanks

Does this look like minor leaf burn, too many nutrients or something else?I believe two of the plants developed minor leaf burn. One has white streaks on the middle and outer portions of several leaves, and the other has a rust, reddish stripe parallel to the center of several leaves. I’ve attached pictures above. Thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Weekly flushes to reduce EC?I’m in week 5-6 flower and feeding quite heavily. My hydro shop bloke advised feeding heavy based on the feed chart and then reducing the ec to 1 or less than 1.0 weekly before making changes to the ec based on the chart. Is this plausible?
