Give or take. I think some people push it lower like 5.8-6 later in flower. Are you on city
water?

Maybe my previous post wasn’t clear sorry. For the record I’m only speaking on ph and nutrients from a book smart standpoint. Lol
I don’t use any nutrients in bottles form. Or ph adjust. I just make a great fortified living soil and let nature take over... Sometimes in no-till reusable pots. Sometimes I just recycle all my soil as it gets better and better with age.

You will need Nutrients at least going into flower. FFOF is a great soil but not enough Nutrients left in soil after about a month in veg. The soil will take you though a six week Veg but Get some Flower nutrients and start them with at least half dose so you don't sneak up on plant with big doses of nutrients.

I grew with FFOF..... It was my first grow and now I'm an expert... Ha Ha. I know more than you tho. :p I've got my first Journal on GrowDaddy.TV . Take a look. It's very detailed and I'm still adding more as time permits. I'm in the middle of trimming it all up now. Not bad for my first grow if I do say so myself. I hope I can pass on some of the things I've learned along the way.

I assume she is just still adjusting to the soil and the good organic stuff in it. let her dry ALL THE WAY out , then water and repeat. The only good way for you to know when she needs watered is to wait for her to dry out till the leaves are starting to droop , pick up the pot and feel the weight, now water it and wait until it weighs a little more then it was when it was bone dry. If you have to see your leaves droop a few times to get the hang of it , its no big deal , thats MUCH less stress then overwatering.

ANY good potting mix will be buffered to a certain ph. once the microbial life takes over , if it ever does , then the ph will be adjusted by them. If the microbial life doesnt take off then the soil will buffer your food for you. No need in phing anything ever. (it wont hurt but it wont help either)
You can feed your girls a ph of 4.0 for 10 waterings straight and not notice a problem in real soil. (thats overkill an nobody goes that low but i know it works)

That's cool. I've always used earth juice but my gorilla glue wont stop yellowing as the buds are starting to explode everywhere (week 5) so I just gave them a dose of cyco and I ph'd to 7. My water is also 7. So good to know because my ph meter sucks.
