PH testing
Carlottastarted grow question 5 years ago
Well, during week 3 i realised the importance of PH testing.How can someone test PH runoffs where there is no water coming out?
My plant is small and the water quantity i give is so low that there is nothing coming out of my 3 gal pot.

If you have excess soil from your planting, start with flooding that, and measuring ph on the runoff.
At three weeks, your root structure may not support flooding the pot, but that is what you'll have to do....at some point.
FYI, I use 3 gal grow bags, and always water/feed with 1 gal fluid, so that there is a slight runoff, as a regular process.

Sorry for insisting,i mean no offense,but i try to understand that.
"In soil no need to check the runoff as soil is self buffering the PH"
How can someone test PH and EC to get a better understanding of nutrient feeding or starting salts accumulation on soil?
Are these tests not applicable to soil?
Forgive my lack of knowledge,spending some time here and 1st grow is stressful.

Hi just a quick one I'm a amateur grower myself and I couldn't get on with a&b pk13/14 etc etc then a few weeks ago I met a old man that didn't understand why I was using them lol he then told me to use (FORMULEX) it's a universal plant food and use it all the way till flush and if you use a medium called plagron batmix you only need to add tap water for the first 6 weeks then use FORMULEX add 5ml to a litre of tap water no ph necessary look it up on google what I've told you and I guarantee you will have the easiest grow on your hands hope this helps happy smoking

Nutrients alternativa friend wants to start with his first plant. Unfortunately, he doesn't have much budget. And through the Corona eruption, he has to work with what he has. As soon as he has the money, he absolutely wants to switch to the right additives. Is it possible to use one of these.

Coco grow: the EC of my runoff is consistently 0.2 mS/cm lower as what goes in (1.1 in at this time, runoff is at 0.9). Also, PH of runoff is at 5.8, while 6,5 goes in. Is this a problem? What causes this? Its been 8 days since germination and they look healthy.

Is Co2 enhancer worth itHey have any of you guys used the co2 enhancer thing they sell online or at some gardening store. I know for sure it can do a difference in veg phase but growing hydroponically and growing auto already gives me fast and strong vegetative grow so should i even bother?
