Okay so i just looked up oyster shell and found out that it is used to de-acidify soil and that is not what i am looking to do, i found that sulfer and gypsum are good for lowering the PH though can anyone tell me how much i could use to safely bring down the ph in each of my 4.5 gal air pot...

Well my water starts out low according to my meter so i had been using PH up to get the PH to 7.0, i am confused though from what i have read RO water is supposed to be near 7.0 because it has nothing in it to make it acidic or alkaline and yet my water is always in the lower 5s when i first...

Thanks for the responses guys i appreciate it but i still have a few more questions, should i be balancing the PH of the water that i use on the plants? I use RO water and have been bringing the PH up to 7.0 but i am wondering if i have been fucking things up by doing this? Last week week i...

Thanks for the info on the oyster shell i will have to see about picking some up i don't have any gardening or hydro shops around here so i will probably have to get some online, as far as cooking the soil goes i kind of did and kind of didn't, the soil is made up of 2 different batch's of the...

I decided to go with vic's super soil because this is my first grow and i wanted it to be as easy as possible so i could get the hang of things, but yeah the soil is a bit hot for seedlings i germed in jiffy starter soil and waiting about 3 weeks to drop them in and i dont believe the soil has...

Really? I was told i used way to much lime and i figured that might have been why my PH was so high.

Hey guys i am having some PH problems with my plants and i was just wondering if you guys could give me some opinions on my soil mix i will leave the recipe in the thread, for the past month or so i have had some yellowing going on and some other problems, i believed that it was a mag deficiency...

The amount of outlets is up to you figure out how many you need and tell the electrician.

I went out and bought some new water i have been reading some threads that say you don't need to adjust the PH of the water for soil and that it can actually be harmful to the soil, also i figure since my soil is so alkaline i don't really want to put any PH up into the water i figure it would...

Wow nice man, "note to self definitely going hempy next time..."

What you just said is true but the fact is that the limiting factor in this is the end fans ability to pull air threw, if its a 450 CFM adding another 450 CFM wont help that much, adding a booster fan might help a little bit, also pulling to much air threw the filter to fast might cause odor...

The seedling stage is usually about 2-3 weeks so you might barley get some usage out of that bulb if you order it, i would say a bulb that big is a waste though, i would go with 4-6 6500 kelvin 27 actual watt cfl's.

As long as your not going with a high wattage large scale grow OP, i wouldn't bother with having the electrical ran up to the attic i would just try and stealthily run an extension cord up there if you will be running under 1000 watts, make sure that the extension cord you get is grounded and is...

That is a huge plant if that screen is that big lol how long have you been vegging her for? I'm sure the skinny girls will pack on some weight here shortly how could they not with all of that light.

Man this PH shit is really starting to piss me off, i just went to water my plants today and i checked the PH on the water and it was 9.5, last time i watered i got the PH to 7.0 i waited one hour or so and checked it again and it was 8 something so i used this jug to dilute the other one and...

Yeah when i was setting this grow up i was thinking about using some extra space i had for an auto flower grow in the corner i considered making it a dwc but i eventually decided not to go threw with the 3rd plant, it would be fun to have a DWC to play but like i said i think the space is a bit...

Yeah i am going to flip the switch very soon my timer will be here on Sunday, i have also been waiting because i think my carbon filter is bad and a replacement for it will be here on Sunday as well.

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and try for 6.0 tomorrow hopefully things start looking better after i get this under control.

Yeah i was under the assumption that this soil should have had a PH of around 6.5 but, as i said previously though i think i might have been fucking things up a bit when adjusting my ph because after an hour of sitting that last jug was up to 8.5 when it started at 7, I'm most definitely going...

Yeah those fuckers are annoying i made reflectors out of disposable pans for them, not because i figured they would reflect light but to keep the light out of my face.
