Thanks man, I appreciate all the help and input. The BP System is amazing. I havn't had to mess with my PH one time. Its been 6.2 the whole time and they seem to be doing great...I am definately going to start flowering next week. Should I go 24 or 36 hrs dark before I flower???
ive heard 24 from pros and in books but ive also heard 36 from other peepz too,,,i wouldnt stretch past 24...im gonna do the 24 hr, dark period before i flower.
hope the best for you man,but try to keep that ph 5.8-6.0.
Thanks, I am scared to mess with the PH when everything is going great....I don't want my greed to bite me in the ass when I fuck up. Im not even real sure how much to use of the PH up and down. Its confusing and touchy as hell, any pointers????
are you using liquid ph up and down? what kind of water are u using?
Its the powder PH up and down that comes with the BP System. Im using tap water which is 6.4 PH.....
man i dont know anything about the powder,i always used liquid everything.Much easier to measure and dispense to me!
Yeah its a little crazy, everything is going good so I leave it alone....don't fix it, if it isn't broken...
Hey warlock what up,
-Hey warlock what up,
I use the exact same stuff. I actually have a mini g/oz scale at home so I can measure it out by grams, makes it a whole lot easier for powder nutes/additives. Its takes 10 grams (five-six 1/2 tsp's)of PH down to bring my PH from 7.2-7.5 to about 5.8-6.0 sometimes more PH down is needed. My tap water starts at 7.3 PH and PPM is 550.
It seems like you wouldnt need to add much at all for it to go down, maybe teaspoon and half, do it a lil at a time 6.4 is pretty close for normal.
Listen to purp tho cus I am still a newbie so I might make mistake or 2 and to be honest Id ask purp if Im right at all before messing with anything haha.
Dude hell yea it is, I was trippin at first and they just give you a small jar of it to.
yea you can do that,or buy your water,,thats what i do 2.5. gal. jugs by parade thats already be through RO..It has a nuetral ph and no ppm
I gotcha. How much do the they cost?
HAHA, thanks for reminding me.... I've been planning on getting a new filter for my kitchen tap, but then keep forgetting once I'm online or at a store to actually get one!
Thanks guys for all of the PH support. I have another question, I am going to be out of town for three days and obviously not here to watch over the girls, so do you think it will be okay to fill the res. with 7-8 gallons over the six? I will compensate and add more Nutes for the add. water.....I just don't have anyone that knows to come and check on them for me, and im kinda protective of my girls....haha thats crazy our water lines run under a graveyard!! how u luv that!
i dont see why not!but i think u have to leave like an inch from the bottoms of the netpots.thats what id do..give em a lil room to breathe and airflow,,just an inch.
haha really?? thats cool but still kinda trippyhaha thats crazy our water lines run under a graveyard!! how u luv that!
i dont know what the hell that could be!Maybe Rose knows!?!?!haha really?? thats cool but still kinda trippy
Hey I have this light reddish foam at the top of my roots right about the water line on each plant. You guys know what that might be?
I really need to order some clearex and get some HP. Itd prolly clear up half these probs Im having.
Most times when I hear this, it is hydroton dust, from not rinsing the rocks 100% clear.haha really?? thats cool but still kinda trippy
