Ph too high
Middlereefstarted grow question 4y ago
I’m using Canna Rhizotonic - 4ml to 1.5ltr of water with a ph of 6.5 but after I’ve added Rhizotonic to the the ph goes up to around 9 so I’ve brought down the ph using ph down ⬇️ back to 6.5, am I correct by doing this or shall I just leave it at 9?

Hey dude, get your water, add rhizotonic and then pH down to 6.2-6.5 - dont pH- your water, then add nutes and then pH- again cause it is a waste of pH- (and has other implications).

Noooo do not feed that 9 PH. Bring it back down with some buffering solution to the proper PH you want to attain for your specific grow.

Does adding extra PK in an organic grow extend curing time ? Thanks !My friend that uses Biotabs nutrient as I do achieved a better taste than I did on our AMS Wedding cake seeds. Tastes a bit like mustard whereas his is tasty even though they were all dried just 2 weeks ago. My leaves were always dark green , Maybe adding PK wasn't necessary ?3y ago
