started grow question 3y ago
Not a question but a PSA. Don't always put all your trust in your pH pen. Mine was reading just over 7. So I lowered it just a bit, but some plants kept getting worse. Checked with pH drops and it was over 8.5 lmao. Damn near killed 2 of my ladies.

Sunrise and Sunset Times Civil Twilight
From what I've researched Civil Twilight provides enough lux for plants to sense light, does that mean I'm getting about 13 hours and 27 minutes of daylight?

Rainy season tips? Also for future flower stage
Any tips for the rain season? Im growing outdoors in the netherlands (sea climate) and the rainy season is about to begin. I won't always be able to put them inside during day because of my education but when I can I will. Or other tips? I can't buy a small greenhouse I'm afraid.

COCO Bricks / No Buffering
Has anyone ever planted on coco bricks without buffering the coco and only adding water? I don't think my bricks were pre-buffered. If you have mistaken and done like me, have your plants survived, and were they healthy?

I want to do lst on all sets of nodes but these huge fan leaves are in the way.. Should I take them off and do what I need Todo? I have another plant 2 weeks behind which will need a lot more time to veg. so this girl should have plenty of recovery.

Ph question
If my pH run off is 7.2, do I lower the pH when I water to compensate ? I notice the next day pH water has risen to 7.2 so all the water that still soaking in will of risen too. This is confusing & is there anything other than biobuzz ph down that will remain the same ?
