Potassium bicarbonate
It's not as strong as typical pH up
(potassium hydroxide)
It acts as a buffer so you don't have to add it as frequently
It's the number one choice for hydro-organic

You should put flexible ducting on the blower to move the hot air into another room or preferably outside. If outside then use a carbon filter.
$50 carbon filter 6inch by 12ish inch tall should be enough
+ducting
Or only
$10ish ducting
This will help the limiting factor which is air. Adding...
If you're gonna flush at all then start when you see a few hairs turn orange. About 10 days layer the trichs will have clouded up. Not all strains / growing environments will provide this indicator. I'm a firm believer in the leeching (flushing) process.
I recently harvested a CBD only indoor hemp crop at 70 days from seed. 10 days before harvest I started to flush after having seen orange hairs. The tichs turned cloudy over those 10 days.
I would follow the same rule of trich milkyness.
Similar note:
I noticed that CBD bud is much darker in...
I would just stop using fertilizer the last 4 weeks of flower. I only grow my vegetables outside this is what I do otherwise the tomatoes are a little gross. My 2cents
1st floor 2nd floor elevation has no effect unless you got something heavy like a water red.
I'm talking like a extraction and/or intake in- line fan (sometimes called a blower) to take ambient indoor air and bring it to your plants (fresh co2(carbon dioxide)) and take away the old air and blow...
Flush when you see the first orange hairs. Don't worry about the trichs, they'll be milky. Flush twice preferably with RO or Distilled; the last ten days in hydro+rockwool. I have good tasting bud, how about you? :weed:
I RO water.
It's for my plants but I'm proud to drink it.
My "100gph" which i got ripped off and probably got a 50gph makes about 20 gallons in 12 hours.
I would highly recommend a clean (new) 55 gallon drum to fill overnight, baby sitting an RO machine is bogus.
Make sure 55 gal is on concrete...
Tweak your grow?? thanks for asking..
I don't see any air movement, should get some fresh air in there would be my next move. 4 months in veg indicates an issue.. might be air!
lemmie know
I know there's Cannabis Sativa L. (Linnaeus) and also Cannabis Sativa Ruderious.. both hemp. I'm not even sure what the name of the tall straight fiber one is, the one everyone thinks of when they think of hemp.
I read somewhere that a slow flush is a better flush.. i read the "christmas tree" flush your talking about will cause the cells in the plant to stop moving things in and out causing the fertilizer to stay in the plant.
I flush twice over 10 days with RO water in rockwool. great tasting smoke...
If you're into real simple chemistry:leaf:... this is my conclusion of 8 years and many hydro-store-markup-purchases
