I target 6.1 pH based on nute availsbility charts like this:
And he's a VPD guru.
I don't use bottled nutes either. Compost and manure teas. I always get left out on the nute train too lol.

Hey buddy. We are a little different I guess but all good growers.
Vpd,all kinds of lights, everything...many years of experience...a great guy, too...
He was definitely a big contributor in sorting out the calmag/LED issues... At least for me. I was on the right track but couldn't grasp it. He straightened it right out for me and many others. Invaluable lessons for guys switching to LED.
Do you think I have enough lighting for an effective 4x4 grow? Listen I know you’re trying to push your record of what 3lbs @700 watts.... I can’t do that. So please take that into consideration. I used to run HPS and really really am probably one of the last swear Byers of HPS. It worked amazing for me.
Just make sure to add calmag to your feeds. Thats a big one and the only one I really faced besides dialing in the brightness...
No not really. You just have to dial in your environment, the rest takes care of itself. HPS isn't as sensitive because it raises leaf surface temps.
Ever since he straightened me out, I haven't had to add calcium or magnesium at all. My well gives plenty, my environment was just off. Very fascinating.
