Try to get a pH meter mate, even a one and calibrate it with the powders a couple of times, will make a big difference rather than guess work. You will probably be be to use tap water but will probably need some pH- / pH+ but the good news is just a couple of drops change your pH quite quickly so you won't need much of it and it's pretty cheap

Hi ich persönlich würde davon abraten alles ohne ph Messgerät zu machen. Hab mir bei eBay für 10 € eins bestellt und es funktioniert sehr gut. Wenn dein ph nicht stimmt bekommt man nur Probleme mit seinem Grow. Viel Glück für dein Grow 😉👍

Feeding After Trauma Question I will feed super lightly tomorrow on August 7, but want to what other growers think. Kaboom toppled over on August 3. I refrained from feeding to allow her time to stabilize and have only watered once since the fall. In your grower opinion, was waiting to feed necessary? thx 😊

tank feed How long can I keep a mix in this tank. I must admit it does not smell good. The mixture smells so bad after a day or two and does it affect the plants in any way?

We have decalcification machine. Should I add Calmag right from the start? How much? (Autoflower in mostly Biobizz Allmix)We have a decalcification machine (natrium based), so I have low magnesium/calcium. People say my soil is low in cal/mag. Should I add Biobizz Calmag on my first watering?(50% of recommendation for autos?) This one looks already droopy, doesn't it? Think I need to water soon.

PH-Problems in Soil Before repotting, the pH value in the soil has always fallen to below 5.5. The plants always have an iron deficiency. I then repotted the plants and that worked well for 14 days. Now they are showing PH deficits again. The soil has PH 5,4 -4,8. What could be the reason?
