How to use PH DOWN to get a soil PH around 6.5.
Blind_japanesestarted grow question 5y ago
I tested the PH of the run off water today and the result was 7.2, pretty above the number I want, 6.5. So i bought ph up down but i still have a doubt: which PH should water (with fertlizers and PH down) to water the plants be to get the soil PH to go down to 6.5?

Привет, бро! 👋 Математика проста, если ты имеешь 7.2 а хочешь получить 6.5, возьми их разницу 7.2-6.5=0.7 Разницу отними от желаемого показателя 6.5-0.7=5.8 Первый пролив без удобрений, водой, примерно 20-30% от объема горшка с кислотностью 5.8, до получения из дренажа значений 6.6-6.4, после подготовь раствор с удобрениями и кислотностью 6.5, пролив в объеме 7-10% от объема горшка. Всё восстановится и стабилизируется! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!

If your at 7.2 and want it down to 6.5 you should pH down your feeding water to around 5.8-6.0 and then check the run off the next time you water. Hope this helps friend. Happy growing.. 👊

Flushing advice!Hi I’m going to be flushing the girls soon as I think I’ve only got a couple of weeks left. I’m using Biobizz soil and Nutes. When flushing should I allow heavy run off with each flush? Should I stop the CalMag too? Biobizz say run off during flushing isn’t necessary, Any advice?Week 13

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feedingHaving difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses.
One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farms

Feeding advice.What should I feed? I'm 2 weeks into my second attempt at a first grow lol. I'm growing an Auto in soil, outdoors in the UK.
I'm trying to keep things organic. I've researched rabbit manure which I have and liquid seaweed. When can I use these? Do I need them?

Ph up lowering my ppmHey guys,
I am having a little trouble with my feeding, the issue is that I am mixing up my nuts adding pH up to get to 6.5ph but this is taking my ppm down from 950 to 105ppm.
Can you tell me if this will effect my plants as what can I do to stop it ?
Thanks in advanceFeeding. Other

LEAF DROOP: How much droop is normal between watering?Some of my Cinderella99s are droopy. Based on touching the soil, I would wait another day to water, but the leaves say otherwise.
What do you think about this?

PH meter was wrongSo I learned my lesson by not checking the calibration of my PH meter. It was off by .6 and I don’t know for how long. The run off of my plants are right at 6.0. Using FFOF soil. Will it bounce back now that I recalibrated my PH meter or do I need to flush all the plants.Feeding. Other

Calcium in tap waterIs 95mg/L calcium too much in tap water? (It's probably a little lower than that, since that's exit measurement from the waterworks.)
I haven't seen any signs of acute calcium toxicity, but I'm worried about buildup.Feeding. Chemical composition

Its day 65 from seed. Some pistils are turning brown, but trichomes looks empty, no signs of milky trichomes. I took leaf samples from differents parts of the plants. Approximately, how many weeks left until harvest? Should I give her one more feed and then start to flush?

Increase nutrition?Should I up the nutes? I’ve been feeding 1/4 amount for the last 3 feeds. I’ve read that after first week of 1/4 up it to 1/2, but from what I can see (foliage pic added) everything looks like it’s quite healthy.
Will plant benefit with more or should I stay as I am?
Cheers

Switching to Bloom. Nutrients.I am not clear when I should switch to flower nutes? Auto plants. Look amazing. Week 6. Are there specific indicators that would tell me to switch? I am doing LST and the plants do not seem to have started stretching yet. Both plants are about 5-6 in tall. Thanks!
