I've had good results running Coco a bit higher, like in the 6.2-6.3 range. I think it was in the Mega Crop thread in the advertisers forum, there was a good discussion about running Coco pH higher than conventional hydro range...worth a read if you feel like finding it, I think it would be within the last 15 or so pages of the thread.
That would make sense. I've had ph issues a few times here in the last year or so and perhaps I was just too low on those runs? I have been doing 6.0ish range here in the last few feedings.
I am drain to waste . I don't have serious issues just seems like i am on the edge a lot . Seems like a lot of my mixing comes up around 6.2- 6.3 and usually wind up knocking it down to 5.9 - 6.0.
Thanks @joe i will check that out
I'm wondering if it doesn't come down to specific nutrients lines regarding pH and uptake. I've been using Mega Crop and having good results at the low-mid 6 range, but MC has chelating agents in it that make nutrients available over a wider pH range, at least that's my understanding, so I wonder if that's all there is to it.
That's exactly what mine smelled like in flower. Looking good!
@thenotsoesoteric is right that's what i meant.
Yes that is the one i was looking for. How does the hydro ph number compare to the soil chart that you posted. My AG girl are finally starting to fill in nice at 6.5 weeks. Your look a little more happy. Probably getting ready to take off.
Im not colorblind, lol and I use the ph juice and I'd never run my nutes that ph at 7 with that bluegreen shade, lol. Try it and see, lol. You really have to watch what you see on IG, I see somone today putting ice like a top dressing on their almost finished plant, Im sure that's a new idea someone come up with that looks a lot better on paper that in actual reality. Oh yea, it must be to stimulate a frost situation, lmfao! One of those theory things, lol. IMHO if you are getting better looking plants running your ph at 7, there is something in the medium you use causing this, but jmho
I have one of those too. But I'm red green color blind. I have a hard time distinguishing between reds n greens. It makes it hard to see the different levels of green. So I dont use it.
I barely have to adjust the ph using megacrop, why I like it so much. I even add a half capful of FishShit and URB and alternate with capful of liquid karma, and it still stays really close to 5.5 to 6. In flower I add the RIU homeade calmag/budcandy recipe and even then, if I have to use any ph down at all, its like drops, lol, no shit. its that close.
I was like I hope hes not color blind too in my mind lol. Yeah then a pen or something is a must.
oh man, i must be blazed out. actually tried to click on the big 'X' on the picture to see if it'll minimize the picture. >.<
They put ice on the top dressing then water. To make the water super cold. During flush. To fade plants. On plants that dont fade on their own. Ice bath them and itll turn. It doesn't help anything but bag appeal. And that's not off of IG. It's from a legit horticulturist from a big university. It's not intended for herb per say. I think these are based off of carrots, cabbage, squash, and green beans. They are just close representation to get you started.
Lmfao..... whatcha smokin on. I need some of that.
I've heard of people pouring ice water in the for zone to enhance purps. Sounds like voodoo, I know.
