Herbangardener671started grow question 3 years ago
Is it safe to use baking soda with my fox farm nutrients to raise ph? After mixing ph level is at 5.9 and I need it at least 6.3

NO it is not ok.
baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate. - NaHCO3 - sodium hydrogen carbon oxygenx3
PH up is Potassium Hydroxide KOH - potassium oxygen hydrogen
PH down is phosphoric Acid. H3PO4 - hydrogenx3 potassium oxygenx4
Your will add way to much sodium to your soil.
Both have the effect of raising the PH {KOH or NaHCO3}, but they have different uses in function and the products remaining after reaction.
Same as acids, battery acid is acidic but you don't put that on your french fries, you use vinegar for the exact same reasons.
Everything has a PH but everything is not interchangeable.
PS don't use vinegar to PH down, it kill the soil microbe life.
It gets even more complicated with concentrations and affinity for things.
but lets not get into that
End result, no; not ok

Can be used but like yoink said., it isn't stable. You also have to be careful, as it will also raise your total ec

Ph+ and Ph- are not that expensive.
The difference between this products and homemade solutions,is the stability of ph.
Go to your favourite shop and buy a ph+. I always had to buy Ph- tho,since in my city the water ph is 9!
Good luck 👊🏽🍀🍀

Potassium soil with neem oil and kelp extract as a foliar spray on seedlingsI have doubts about applying some foliar sprays. I've used Neem Oil + Potassium Soap with some kelp liquid extract, together without any issues. The benefit of using it now is obvious, but, are my seedlings too small to handle foliar sprays? Could I harm them if I apply this mix?3 years ago

Auto ultimate week 7 EnquiryIs everything OK so far? I'm thinking back left could do with nutrients? There is 4 here. Hoping for 60 grams each. I had 60 grams from my last one and that was natural, no scrog or lst or topping.
Thanks everyone.

Advice?Done with LST. I added a little overdrive.. just so anxious. My plants seem in line with pics from other Growers diaries. Any advice appreciated. Sometimes I’m afraid I overdo it with early topping and I did a lot of lst on these. I’m new at this. Thanks for reading! 🌱

我的女孩怎麼了，這個是生病了嗎？還是太多的餵食？在他長出第二對葉子的時候這樣的現象就出現了，但是只有一邊有葉子，我查了相關資料顯示這是菸草鑲嵌病毒（Tobacco mosaic virus；TMV）
我覺得挺像的。但是不是很確定，我該繼續等幾天嗎？還是把葉子切掉。
誰可以告訴我解決方法，希望他可以度過生長期，因為他是自動開花，每一天都很重要。
