I have a well close by and thought I would try to grow using it. I lost a green crack because of it. After just a few days the water had a bad smell and looked gross. I don't know what the smell was but it wasn't good. Water temp was always below 70F and I didn't add anything else but nutes...

Actually, I guess it would be more of an Iron deficiency but probably not a huge deal unless you get to 7.0 I have a friend that does the same thing. He buys some mineral water and pours it in and always grows nice little plants. He has limited space and growing in a small cabinet. I tried to...

Not saying 6.7 isn't OK. I said past a pH of 6.7 and the plant roots will have less Manganese and Iron intake causing a deficiency. Overall I guess its not a big deal in soil but for sure a problem with my setup.

As long as people understand that going higher than a pH of 6.7 will cause a Manganese and Iron deficiency in soil grown cannabis.

I was curious what you are growing in. It's a DWC? Coco? Soil? A bit off topic but, If you're growing in soil then a pH level of 5.5 is too low...you're 10 times more acidic than you should be for soil which should be 6.5 - If you are a hydro grower like me there is a magic number of 5.8 pH...

Always look on the bright side of life huh?...for as long as it lasts I suppose. I'm an American that lives in Ukraine and I gotta tell you...it's a bit unnerving living in a country that is on the brink of war with Russia. If it happens... it will be over before it even started. And it's pretty...

Well I've got more of the leaves down...it's an ongoing battle :mrgreen: There are a lot of bud sites exposed and I've removed a lot of the smaller lower branches by lolli-popping. I also did a little super-cropping a few days ago up top because the main cola was reaching for the sky, now it's...

It's the 180-watts panel with Veg/Flower switch. I grew two of my first plants in soil under the Hans Panel, an Auto White Widow and an Auto Blueberry..like I am growing now. I got 85 grams out of the White Widow and 64 grams out of the Blueberry. I bought the Hans Panel to replace a 250-watt...

I trust you, which is a hard thing to do around here ;-) I went ahead and cut off some of the leaves exposing more of the bud sites. It's really incredible how this plant grew so bushy and flat. I'm really pleased. Can't wait to see what happens by the end of this month. Got my nutrients dialed...

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Funny thing is I didn't top this one. I have done this before though in my soil grows.

Thanks for the replies. I wonder if I am getting too greedy because this plant is really bushy and has a lot of bud sites. I do want to try and expose more though.

Hello - Some of you probably hate me by now and that's OK :smile: I am growing my first Deep Water Culture plant and it's massively out of control. I've already lollipopped it once but it's totally unruly on week 7 and wants to grow out of the closet. The plant grew more bushy and flat than...

I followed the directions at 1.5ml per liter and the plant bounced back and the yellow outside on the leaves has disappeared and there is no more spots showing up. It was not a phosphorus deficiency. Not potassium either. GH Flora Trio should have that covered as long as my pH is in range. But...

I'm curious to know how strong the GH pH Down is? I'm using Plagron pH Min and I need only 4-5 drops for 15 liters of water at 7.5 to bring it down to 5.5 - 5.8. What's in the stuff... Water, phosphoric acid (56%). NPK-fertilizer (0-43-0). 43% water-soluble phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). To be...

Well you were absolutely right. I'm not debating either and I don't want to step on anyone's toes around here. I'm not a pro-grower like the majority of you guys who have been doing this a lot longer than I have. After doing some more research, I found out that soil pH and hydro pH have two...

I try to keep it around 5.7 and 5.8 but its tricky - I just now took it to 5.7 - Thanks

I appreciate the response but....how can it be 'way too high' if it's in an acceptable range? between 5.5 and 5.8 perfect between 5.3 and 6.5 good between 5.0 and 7.0 acceptable below 4.5 and above 8.0 disrupted absorption of nutrients below 3.5 and above 9.0 irreversible damage to the roots...

I'm using General Hydroponics Calcium Magnesium - It's what I have access to. For some reason there is no access to CaliMagic here. The stuff I get has to come from General Hydroponics Europe and they seem to have different stuff. I attached a shot from my Excel sheet which does all my...

It's a hydro setup - deep water culture in a 20 liter container. pH is always between 5.5 and 6.5 - Right now its exactly 6.5
