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.

I am a complete beginner and I use biobizz soil as well as fertilizer. I am now in the 8th week with an autoflower. For example, the plan says to give her 4ml/L biogrow. I water ever 2 or 3 Days 1,5l water.Do I then need to add 6ml at each watering or just 4ml a week?

I am only growing one plant at this time and would like to know some good concepts and actions for storing water, keeping the PH levels at a workable level, and best feedings. Would 5 gallon buckets with air machine and PH kit be sufficient, Please your thoughts.

Hydroponic or soil - differences in taste?
From what I can see on this website, hydroponic systems tend to give greater yields than soil-grown projects. However, I also read that the aroma is not as rich. Did someone here try to grow the same strain once in soil and once hydroponic and can give a personal taste review?

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?
