Humidity and Ph level
Legomanstarted grow question 4 years ago
Having trouble getting my humidity in my hydroponics setup above 40%. Got some advice that I should raise my pH in my reservoir from 5.8 to 6.5 to better meet the plants needs in lower humidity. Is this true?

No, that information is completely false. 6.5 pH is on the verge of too high for hydro. You want to keep your pH around 6. As for the humidity, the plants will grow at 40%. I have had the same issue and the plants still show a nice growth rate. As your plants get bigger they will transpire more and the humidity will naturally increase. You can get a small humidifier pretty cheap on Amazon or hang a wet towel near your fan to help with the humidity. But increasing your pH can cause you a whole new set of problems. Good luck with your grow!

Flushing with RO Water (EC 0,0) or tap water (EC 0,8)?Hi.
I think, it's 1,5-2 weeks before they are ready to harvest.
Tell me, if you see something else in the pics. :)
I want to flush them now every 2 days with only water.
I have the opportunity of RO Water (EC 0,0).
Should i use the RO water or normal tap water (EC 0,8)?

What is shelf life of silver thiosulfate ("STS") in practice?I know it is recommended to use within 30days of mixing final solution.
However, what "works" can often be different from the recommendations. Has anyone used an STS solution they made after 2months? 6 months? How did it go?Other. General questions

Should I wait to flip?Since I just transplanted and amended my soil using gaia green amendments and geared them towards veg. I know the general rule is to allow 2 weeks for them organic amendments to break down, will that deter me from flipping to flower next week or should I wait if so how long?

Those white pistils are due to the foxtailing, so is not a good metric.
