Yes getting a ph meter is very helpful. I would recommend staying away from the really cheap ones. You get what you pay for rings true.

Should I filter my tap water?
Is it preferable to use filtered tap water over tap water that's been left out for 24 hours? Would it be worth running my tap water through a filtered jug? I live in a soft water area

Math check.
Making my own bloom booster, aiming for a 0-10-10 ratio. I use powders and know that 1 tsp = 5ml. If make up a 1 litre solution, to achieve 0-10-10 would that mean 980ml of water 2 tsp of mono-ammonium phosphate 2 tsp of potassium sulphate?

Jaked
I added mycorrhiza to the coco coir from a local store. It turned out that there is slow release fertilizers in it. Was not indicated on the packaging.
Please Help! First time after watering with 5.7pH 400ppm drainage water was 6.7pH and 800ppm. I flushed her to 400ppm. Yesterday was the second watering (450ppm, 5.7pH) and drain was 700ppm 6.7pH. I flushed her to 460ppm (1.5l of water), but pH still 6.6 How to fix it?

Vote Feeding bloom nutes in veg stage
I was just wondering why some people feed their plants bloom nutrients during the veg stage. I see people adding it to their grow nutrients and supplements and I’m just wondering why or if it’s something I should have been doing all along.

Mephisto Genetics EWOK OG - did I get it to flower early?
Should my EWOK OG have white hairs this early? Its day 38 from seed for it and I have been giving it the same nutrients, of Fox Farm Trio week 6-8 nutrients, as my other plants. I had lights at 12/12 and changed it to 16/8 this week. How will this grow?

Ph problems
My tap waters ph is incredibly high. Even when I add pH down & biobuzz nutrients & leave it for 24 hours, it continues to rise, not fall. Would ph perfect work for me with autoflowers ?
