    Roots Organic Uprising has weird instructions on the packaging

    Has anyone ran with Roots Organic Uprising dry amendments? The packaging says to use 1-2 tsp "per container" and not "per gallon". So I found myself transplanting some of my girls into 3 gallon pots and only mixing in 2 tsp of ferts. Seems like it's kind of a low amount for a 3 gallon pot...

    Where do I measure room humidity when drying?

    So I'm drying my buds upside-down in my grow room right now. I have my buds hanging in my tent, and the tent is wide open. Outside of my tent, the humidity is 50%, but inside the tent with the hygrometer hanging next to the buds, those read at 56-60%. I want 60% humidity. So should I base it...

    3 of my 5 plants hermied with pollen pods, need to spray with switch, but...

    3 of my 5 plants hermied on me, all of them acapulco gold. This happened about a week or two after I flipped to flower. There's plenty of reasoning behind why they did, but that's not what I am here trying to figure out. I decided to use optic foliar switch to try to stop the problem (on top of...

    Can I raise my soil pH by increasing how much pH up I add to my water?

    Can I raise my soil pH by increasing how much pH up I add to my water? Say I have a soil pH of 5.8, and I want it to be 6.2, how would I go about doing this? Everything I research on this just tells me to use ammendments to adjust my soil pH. Not interested in lime and all that other crap.

    Can I add Earth Dust dry nutrients to water without bubbling it?

    I want to add Earth Dust dry nutrients to my water bottle. I was thinking of just adding it in, shaking it for a day, then using it. I know people make teas and bubble it, but I don't want to bubble it because I am only using a small amount of it. It simply wouldn't be enough water to be able to...

    Started a grow in Coco with Earth Dust dry amendments.

    So I started a new grow using coco with Earth Dust dry amendments. The ever popular Mr. Canucks Grows uses 6.5 - 6.8 water pH. Should I use this pH? I am confused since every online answer says to use 5.8-6.5 pH, which is quite the broad range, and I bet it's wrong. Anyone else using coco with...

    Brown spots and lower leaf yellowing.

I also had heat issues, where temps would get up to 81-85. Again, I have all that in check now. My lights should also be OK, with...

    OK, so I can't find any sources online about how to change my soil PH levels by just using PH'ed water. Anything online is telling me to do weird shit like add lemon juice or dolomitic lime, which is not what I am wondering about how to do. For example, my soil PH is 6.7 - 6.9 in all my...
