PH falling caused by dilution /hydro
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 2 years ago
I noticed that when I dilute my soup too much with osmosis water in order to lower EC, PH starts falling eventually, even when my soup is a few days old (I have an air pump, it always goes up). Does it mean I have to make a new tank in that case ? why is that happening? Thanks!

when I use an air stone in my water tank I also notice my PH goes up.
If I don't aerate, I only need 3-4 drops to bring it down to 6.5, if I aerate I need 8-9 drops per 4L of 85% phosphoric acid.
I did a little test of it on my one grow, the link below is to the image of the results. its by no means perfect, and only used just over 1L of tap.

I would bubble the water for 40min with PH adjustment before adding into the tank to help avoid any unnecessary ph fluctuations
But I don't know if that works for you. Can try it out and see how well it works for yea.
Good Luck!

If your ph drops it's almost always a nutrient issue. Some nutrients dont play well together in hydro. I had this issue when I used open sesame and cha ching from fox farm. The beastie blooms runs stable but the other 2 make the ph steadily drop.

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Questions about wateringI created a 40 ml solution, the instructions say to transplant after the sprout has grown to the top of the plastic cover and the roots are visible through the plug. The question is, is 40 ml of liquid enough for this growth? I think not.

Help: potential over fertilisation or over waterningI used Biobizz bio grow, 2ml/L and sprayed them more than usual. The tip of the leaves is getting yellow. 2 plants have the leaves pointing down and seem more textured and tick. The other 2 (the biggest) seem better, but the yellowing of the leaves is more evident.

When to use terra aquatica ripen? Wait until they look ready to harvest or when they look like they will be ready in 2 weeks while using ripen?I'm coming to the end & I think they need a few more weeks at least, but I may be just kidding myself, thinking they're gonna double in size.
I'm gonna use ripen for the final 2 weeks with a 48h flash clean before & after, so should I start now or wait for more amber trichomes?
