PH inching up. HELP!!!!
ChefGreenleafstarted grow question 5y ago
Hi all,
This is my second official grow.
My soils ph is inching past 7.
I bought a small bottle of ph down but it gives very minimal direction.
The brand is like DH or something.
What if its the rain water?!

Typical use of Ph down is 1-3 ml per gallon until ph level is achieved.

Hi there, Even if it is rain water, you don't need to worry.All you have to worry about is your water pH and ppm after mixed nutes including pH down solution.Always make sure to run off some water from the bottom. keep your pH around 6.0~6.5 for both in and out.Also in soil,the less nutrient the better to prevent toxicity or lockout.Good luck and Happy Growing... ✌️

Flowering too early?This is a 5 week old plant that I don't know the strain (Maybe Amnesia, Super Skank or White Widow). She is still young with just a few leaves, 5" tall, with 18/6 led period, but it seems to be already flowering. Is this right? How to deal with it?Leaves. Too few

Have just noticed that my slow lemon plant seems to have had a slight rupture, don't really know how it's still ok as it looks like it happened long enough ago for it to heal kinda... Guessing I got a bit heavy handed with the LST in a tired stoned state... Should I do something?4y ago

She doesn't want to go into flowering. I've stopped cutting any leaves for about a week and generally left her on her own. When I cut any leaves she grows new ones within a couple of days although she has stopped growing. Any ideas what could be wrong or do I just give her time?Week 9

Worried about autosHi there. I’m in my second grow. It’s my first time using autos. I’m roughly 5 weeks in and they haven’t began to flower yet. I think they got a little shocked at the beginning so think maybe a week slower. Should I be worried. I’m growing in bio bizz all mix under 2 leds 1 hps.Plant. Other

What am I doing wrong?I have claw leaves, brown spots, and yellow tips forming on the strawberry pie plants. The green gelato does not have the brown spots but the tips are turning yellow as well as the leaves. I feed the plants ph water and gave them light nutrients about a week ago. Any ideas?Week 5

Should I be planting my seeds deeper?Should I be planting my seeds deeper? I’m seeing what look like roots trying to grow from the stem about 1/2”-3/4”up from soil level. Planted seeds about 1/2” below soil. How deep do you plant your germinated seeds in soil?Plant. Other
