I said, ".....and most "flush" their plants ruining the very unit that produces the buds!"UB, What do you mean when you say most flush to get rid of the unit of producing buds? You mean the nutrients?
Sounds like the problem is with your pH meter. Promix has limestone in it to buffer the low pH of the peat. http://www.premierhort.com/eProMix/Gardening/fGardening.htmWhat about when you have PH problems? I seem to have crazy PH problems in my soil grow. When I PH the run off from the bottom of the pot, the PH is around 4.5. That was with fresh soil, no nutes and 7pH water going in. And I use a soiless soil, Promix. Ive since stopped really worrying about the PH, as they seem to be growing decently without me having to try to correct the problem
Calibrate before taking your readings with calibration solutions - 4.01 and 7.01. I buy a liter of each for about $14 total, has a shelf life of over a year. Store your electrode wet, tap water is fine, storage solution is better so the vendors say LOL. A tiny dab of cotton soaked in mineralized water in the cap is fine. Don't use distilled water in the cap to keep the electrode wet during storage. Apparently it screws up the electrode. Just don't let the electrode dry out during storage.I had thought that it might be the PH meter, but water PHed fine at 7, and its a newer meter.
What is the NPK value of the FF nutes you're using?Ive only had it for a few months, and it hasnt been used too often. I use this particular bag of promix
Ive had this problem with my first grow too, and flushing didnt seem to fix the problem. So this time around, I stoped worrying about it, and just water with FF nutes every other watering.
It's potassium hydroxide, not unlike lye, sodium hydroxide.As for the ph up, im not sure what brand, i Just got a bit off of ebay. It comes in powder form, and i just add it in water. Though i havnt used it this grow at all
