I would try and keep your PH at a stable 5.8 and only go up to 6.2 when you start to enter flower.
If you notice that PH is drifting your plants maybe they are feeding more then expected.
Have you been monitoring your EC of the feeding solution? Is it dropping a lot over 24hrs and does coincide with the rise in PH?
You could try and do a flush to get the PH back to normal and then go from there, but before doing this I would recommend making sure the above values PH/EC are checked first.
If you do not have a TDS pen I would suggest you get one.
Good Luck!

Well you need to bring that ph down or you will be in lock out. Roots can not work if out of a good range for them. Like in coco or hydro 5.8 vegging 6.2 flowering. Coco needs heavy irrigation, and constant ph monitoring of run off. Soil ph runs a little higher for ideal condition. Good luck, and happy growing 🌱

Tipped, Squashed Plant, Wobbly Trunk - Will it Survive?Plant fell over and squashed against itself.
The base of the trunk is wobbly but still attached deep down.
I've packed soil around the base of the trunk to reinforce.
I'm about 2 weeks from chop and want to know if it's worth harvesting now or if plant/yield will be fine?

Root loss shock?Can I do anything?! I had her in with another seedling for the 1st 14 days and when I went to transplant them into their own pots their roots were completely entwined around each other. I tried to separate them but a good chunk of roots came away. They have both wilted badly!

mold problem in the clay beadsHello, I think I have a mold problem in the clay beads. This morning I saw white spots. Can you tell me if they are deposits or mold? If it is mold what should I do? The roots underneath are still in good condition.
Thanks you buddys.

Quiebre de tallo principalNo subí foto de como quedó el tallo quebrado después de la tormenta, ya que ni bien la ví le puse tierra en una maceta nueva hasta el cotileidon que fue que quedó recta sola. Hubiese Sido mejor un tutor o guía? O está bien cubrir el tallo de tierra hasta el primer cotileidon?

From clones.. A few weeks in, plant on bottom right doesn't appear to be rooting and is wilting.At a glance, does anyone have any advice for this grow? I am using miracle grow performance organics for soil, two full spectrum 30w LEDs, grow tent is 3x3x10-12.
The plant on the bottom right does not seem to be rooting. The rest to my eyes look okay, but wanted advice.
