MountainMattstarted grow question 4 years ago
The pH of the runoff continues to drop below 6.0 with each feed, resulting with me trying to bounce it back every other watering. I would like for the pH to be more stable. Any ideas why this might be happening? I am using Advanced Nutrients pH perfect - Grow, Micro, Bloom.

That probably means you have a very acidic soil. You can add some lime stone to the soil and water with higher pH like 6.5-7 and keep checking it but to be totally honest I hardly ever measure my pH levels anymore 😂 but I only grow 2 plants at a time. I haven't noticed much difference but my ph come out 6.5 from the tap lol

Homemade inputs???What do yall think of my diary?
All homemade inputs, I invest literally less than 20 bucks in my inputs in the entire grow. I want to prove to you all that you do not need to drop money on bottled nutes, remember bottles are for babies. Challenge me? Just look at my diary

A question for the bag growers. I was underwatering and too often so started watering until getting some runoff. A problem I have is that before the water flows out the bottom it starts leaking from along the sides. making it difficult to judge how much is actually runoff.Feeding. Other

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.a year ago

Co² tabs for water feedingDo you have experience with CO² tabs? This manufacturer says 1 tab is enough for 100L (=26 gal). The particles attach to the water and uptake is through the roots.
They said overdosing is not possible but should be cautious with PH of the water, also after adding fertilizers.

Overfeeding?Is this the first sign of nutrients burn? Some tips of the leaves are turning yellowish and two leaves are starting to make dark dots...maybe too much nitrogen? 🤔The temperatures in my grow box are a little bit low, but I don't think it's the case. The ph is regular.

What to do? Where am I at now actually? I’m lost and slightly discouragedWhen should I add happy frog fruit and bloom? This is my 3rd grow and im 0-2! I have a overfeeding problem but I’ve learned to be corrective and precise with ph and ppm and be pest preventative as well (heavy handed waterer as well..im trying). It’s day 5 of flower and I’m lost

Plain water between a few feeds? Smaller doses? (To prevent nutrient burn)So I was wondering (medium is light-mix from Plagron): I've been feeding a full dose of nutes every watering up until now. Would ya'll recommend giving plain water in between every few feeds, or dosing down to be cautious? I don't want to be too late... That happened last grow.Week 7

Plant health assessment (Leaf coloring and nutrition help)Sorry for bombarding you guys with questions, but it's getting serious now, right?
Anyway, my leaves are getting funky colors and I do wonder, what is causing this?
Is this normal? I have used the bloom nutes as in my diary once this week, rest was distilled watering.
