Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 3 years ago
Yes but not that fast.. not if it’s climbing almost 2 points in a day. Are you using an actual pH down or something like vinegar /lemon juice? The latter won’t work.
Ezzjaybruhanswered grow question 3 years ago
I looked at your diary and I think since you’re dealing with such a high pH out of the tap - it’s taking time to reach a steady pH? Maybe let your water sit for a few days before putting in the reservoir?
I also recommend photosynthesis plus as a good beneficial additive that works in hydro.

When to harvest?Beginner question:
Would you say this is ready to harvest soon or should I wait some more? Leaves turning autumn colors, 3/4 of pistils turned orange.
Trichomes look rather clear, but some on the head bud are amber already.

Is My Critical AUTO a Photoperiod Strain?I have 3 auto strains, 2x Thunderfuck and 1x Critical. The Thunderfuck plants bloomed normally and have been harvested. The Critical, except for a few light pre-flowers on one stem, hasn't bloomed. I suspect it might be a photoperiod. Should I put it in the tent at 12/12 or 18/6?Week 14
