I change it depending on the strain. if it is a greenhouse strain i just go by what they recommend. if it isn't and i know of no suggestions i just keep it somewhere between 5.6-5.8. It veries that much anyhow, plus you have the error in the ph meter as well, so its not an exact science anyway...

very true, i have a way old school dehumidifier. it puts off more heat than my base board heater.

I change my reservoir once a week and when i do i pump it out with a sump pump. so before a pump it all out i just hose down the inside of the reservoir to stir up any sediment and salts. i then flush my plants with regular water and when i empty the reservoir again i hose it down again. this...

Do you know what % the moisture magnet dropped your room? how big of an area?

well you want to have your water down to the ph you want it at (5.5-6 for hydro), when you mix in the micronutrients they cause a temporary drop in the ph (to about 4.0-4.2). after they are absorbed the ph will come back up to where it was originally adjusted down to (5.5-6). however due to air...

are those people doing hydro or soil though? also, i know there is cal and mag already in tap water but i still use it and never have a problem with it. i just use the ces mix chart. white widow can only take about 70% of the nute mix. other strains i mix 150% of what ces says.

I'm not sure what you are getting at. what's the difference? The ph levels won't be any different.

Those that know what they are doing do. I wouldn't lie to you man.

not correct. my ppm is about 160 off of my tall boy and we have very good water where i live. its just a carbon and sediment filter, not a reverse osmosis system.

i typically adjust to 5.5 cause i know it will creep up a bit if i let it sit. after i mix the CES nutes in, the whole line-up they have (All 6 nutes), that will drop your ph to 4.0 or so. The micronutes is what really causes the drop. as the plants absorb the nutes the ph will come back up to...

me too brother! check out my grows.

Overwattered and ph. the two leaves up top look insane, i am guessing the really super wavy leaves may have been cause by the transplant, although ph can make 'em do some weird shit.

I use a tall boy. my ph is usually 7.2 off of it. i adjust it down to 5.5-6 depending on the strain and let it sit for as long as possible before i mix the nutes. when you adjust your water down it has a tendency to creep back up after it sits. i always use cal/mag in my line of nutes, a very...

why would 3 molecules of oxygen damage the carbon filter when two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen combined can pass through just fine?

do a thread search there is some really good right ups on this subject here.

I'm thinking I am gonna go with a mix of s-2 and s-3 croutons this way I can feed much more often.

Why would you ph your cocco down to 5.5 then put lime in it and neutralize it?

burning, or i guess it could be for both reasons. but primarily burning.

I am not familiar with it.
