That's why I like the rabbit for veg. It's super clean in terms of manure. Hardly any smell, best npk, and it's a cold manure.



Yea, they're very social. The "dog duck" was a drake, right? My Pekin and Muscovy drakes are like that. They chase the neighbors dog out of the yard all the time.

He would sit on your lap and eat watermelon and wanted in the house all the time and would follow you every where.

A little more involved than just changing the diaper every 7-10 days, but your close. You should ph your water every 3 days, figure out the drift of your ph, adjust as required to get a balance, focusing on 5.8 as your target zone.
Every 7 days ain't gonna cut it for the best plant you can grow. I adjust everyday personally in a Waterfarm I got going..

I don't check ph. I watch the plants and feed minimally. I veg 5 or 6 weeks.

There's your problem. Runoff is pretty accurate if you know how to read it.

You need 2 things. The ph of your water going in and the runoff. Your soil ph is pretty close to the median of those 2 numbers.

reason i say its not, is because i test the ph of the run off of the fox farm soil when i give its very first watering and its usaily always in the 5.o range so i fill its wrong, and my last grow that went rile good no problems at all i did not mess with the ph of my tap water at all and its like 7.5 to 8.o untill i add tiger bloom to the mix then it drops to like a 5.5 but i dont mess with it well my last grow i did not mess with it and did good but that was out side and i know my ph pen is correct

I'm not sure I completely understand but if your soil runoff is coming out at 5.0 and you're water going in is 5.5 after nutes, that's where your issue is. Your ph is low. You need to adjust your watering ph to 7.0.

That will bring your soil ph back up. You want soil ph between 6.0 and 6.3 in my opinion. Seems to be the best range for pickup and allows a slight ph buffer.
