Is it safe to use citric acid to lower ph of tap water? Organic grow
SherbGrowsstarted grow question 2 years ago
I am looking into alternative methods to organically lower the ph of my tap water. Tap water where I live normally ranges from 7.6-7.8. I have read that using vinegar can be bad for the plants overall so Im wondering about trying citric acid? Curious to know. Thanks!

sure...
white distilled vinegar works too.. often very cheap and already lying around. it will cause no problem. the common 5% variety will not take much to drop it. a "3 m:" pipette is useful to have around. once you ahve it measured out, you can rely on spot checking your tap water occasionally and trust your measurements.

Yeah them things work. But they don't hokd the PH stable. If you are applying quick solution Citric acid, white vin, lemon/lime juice works also. But biobizz has really potent ph- that will keep your PH stable. Good luck bro.

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.

Which single bloom supplement would I benefit from most?I’m considering purchasing something to boost my blooms. I’ve looked at koolbloom and big bud. I’ve used big bud in a commercial setting and got buds the size of my head, but can’t verify big bud did that. I’ve seen good results with just the GH trio too. Any input is appreciated
