Baking Soda for Acidic Soil
Misanthropestarted grow question 3 years ago
How much baking soda should I add to my water to correct acidic soil? Ph meter reads between 5 and 6. I cant afford prepared solutions (but am not opposed to chemicals) so any other DIY remedies would be welcome too

Look into dolomitic lime. It's full of calcium and magnesium. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) can add too much sodium to your soil.

You would be better off just with an organic pH controller like biobizz which you could probably get a 250ml bottle for about
Mixing powders and potions can mess with your substrate, sometimes the easy way out is the best way out.

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?

PH-Problems in SoilBefore 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?

Fast flowering strain takes long to start flowering.Why is the honey cream which is the plant that was noted as the fastest flowering plant of the three strains I have, the one that's the furthest behind in the flowering stage
She does receive a bit less light than the other two strains

Does that look like an early deficiency?Hi everyone, what ya thinkin'
What kind of deficiency could that be?
My bet - potassium.
last portion of water was ~6.2 pH
I wasn't feeding her nutes for ten days by now.
Because previous runoff was ~2000 ppm. I thought would be a good idea to do just water for a while.

Burned tips and white spotsHi, I have a auto plant in its 7th week. Today I noticed that it has burned tips. The white spots have been there for longer, I dont know if they are related to the same problem.
Im new to this and what I came up with is that the white spots could be a cal defincentcy?

Buon giorno weed doctors, did anyone have similar uniform chlorosis at the top or maybe knows what's up? What could be the reason and the solution? ThIs this some sort of immobile nutrient deficiency or excess? Could this be caused by heat and light stress? She is 80cm tall and almost touches the lights in the tent. I'm usually suffering from Calmag and Nitrogen issues and haven't yet experienced yellowing from the top. Thanks

I keep loosing leaves to some sort of nasty necrosis. It affects leaves at all levels, small and big randomly. I had to remove a lot of dying foliageAt first it looks like a asymmetrical spot of leaf starting to thin out to lighter color then tissue dries and turn black. I have high runoff EC3.3 and I blame Easy boost pellets because I only add rootjuice 1ml/L and sugar royal 0.5ml/L to my water. What is it and how I fix it?

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?
