one light one plant one pound....

I think the culprit is my tap water it holds at 7.4 right now I usually run my tap water I'm gonna use 24 hrs. in advance to mixing nutes usually it will ph @ 6.7-6.9 out of the tap ppm usually 35-60 I used r/o water for awhile but it didn't make any difference I'm gonna buy some ph-down I usually use lemon juice to lower the ph. I had this same problem last year in the spring I'm gonna add the soul synthetics swell as one of the main ingredients is silica I managed to get the ph down to 5.7 I'll check again in the morning IMG_0452.JPG

Silica raises ph
I was using ro and tap mixed at one point it seemed to help the ph swing some.

I've never used well water since I've been doing hydro but I was mixing r/o & tap water in my first waterfarm grow which I had all screwed up from of all things over feeding which in turn I misdiagnosed & blamed on the water my fan leaves looked like the ears on some of those mma cage fighters I even tried to blame th-seeds but funny thing when I backed off the nutes I got normal growth total grower error on my part if I have to I'll just keep checking/adjusting ph every day until I can get it sorted out it sure is good to have friends right now in spite of roller coaster ph. things are going well & do you remember if your double dreams had much smell these reek if you brush up against them much like stardawg with a hint of menthol/strawberry faint , tough to identify I had a friend with a cut of strawberry cough this has a faint whiff of that

Some of the BD smell and some kush undertone I think.
I dont remember strawberry smell, but I am terrible with smells.
Always wanted to try Strawberry Cough!
I always over fertilized even did with the Double Dream, and that was my last run with Jacks ferts before I switched to organic

my water comes from snow runoff from a nearby lake never over about 60 ppm. when I use the filter in my refrigerator it comes out as good as any bottled water I'm 2 towns north of sierranevadica my little town ( sanandreas) sits in the heart of gold country only about 2000 people so outside of a little ph jump I've really had very minor problems mostly self created I'm thinking this is shaping up to the makings of a good grow how do you like your 3x3 tent? I'm seriously considering firing up a second grow this spring I have that 250-400 switchable galaxy ballast the air cooled hood etc, just sitting or I could order another led I'm wanting to get my current setup hitting on all 8 before I can justify a second room
