Just keep your ph proper going in and proper coming out. Dirt can be a little hot (high ec levels) so it can take some time for a baby to grow into accepting those levels.

You don’t! Just make sure your water is around 6.4. The only things I feed seedlings is beneficial microbes and mycorrhiza

PH problems (DWC)
I'm using 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to lower the pH but with 6 hours it's always back up to the original pH. A similar bucket with no aeration remains stable. Is it because I'm using a weak acid? Is there any way to buffer the solution to keep it in the desirable range?

Liście górne
Hej. Czy ktoś mi może pomóc? Nie wiem czy to normalne że moje liście wyglądają tak. Co to może być? Za mało wody? Może naturalne podczas kwitnienia że liście się zmieniają. Jest tak w 4 donicach z 8. Może zbyt mocne światło przy górze? A może poprostu deficyt lub nadmiar.

Is rain water a good source of water?
Would rain water be a good source of water for indoor plants? I have always ph’d tap water; however, I have two rain tanks that I use for my outdoor tomato garden and was curious if rain water works well with cannabis. My tomatoes love it.

Ph drop after res change
Ph dropped hard 24 hr after res change @ 60%. Had changed 1 week prior due to high ec + slowly dropping ph and added another air stone. Turned off the air stone for an hour, no change so likely not acid rain situation. Ph up’d, plant never showed signs of being unhappy. Thoughts?

Does RO water wash away nutrients in the soil?
So I've been using only RO water since she sprouted, have I effectively washed away all the nutrients in the soil? Should I start feeding her just a little bit of nutes to compensate?

Is 1ml/L of food (I'm using Floramicro/bloom) enough feed throughout the growing phase ?
Is 1ml/L of food (I'm using Floramicro/bloom) enough feed throughout the growing phase ? I was advised that fastbud cream cookies don't like too much feed and that 1ml/L is enough however i don't know when I should up the dosage or if I need to at all.

Las guachas tienen hambre
Ya hace 4 semanas que dejé de fertilizar pensando que estaba más cerca de la cosecha de lo que realmente estaba. Debería volver a fertilizar con alguno de floración o lo dejo así? Ya más de la mitad de los tricomas están lechosos.
