In soil you'll have no difficulties to grow with a 7ph even if a 6.5 in flowering is the average range. The soil have a self buffering propriety so it's mean that you'll be close to 7 each time you water except if you have a big difference between your nutrients mix ph and the soil ph for ex soil is 7 and mix is 5 but it will create a ph fluctuation. No need to check the runoff PH except if you'r growing in coco.

U need to pH at 6 and water till about 10% runoff. Then check and repeat till u get about a 6.5

Different soil will all have different ph levels. Best to find one suited to marijuana. Can be tricky. But if your soil is quite high, water with a lower pH like 5.5-6 to ensure all nutrients are being absorbed and flush it every month or so to get rid of any excess build up of salts

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation soon after SupercroppingI am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.
