    Are AIR PUMP and WATER PUMT supposed to work 24/7 or can you limit them with a timer

But i dont know how much water im suppposed to put in the aerofarm. It holds upt to 45l, which would let roots underwater, but i read some ppl telling they fill just...

    8 PH and herbs are growing why is that, i supposed water ph was very important

    ive also read that heavy metals become available to plants under a ph of 7, and more the lower you go, , and they suck it, and apparently they are spread all over the planet, so in the article they insisted in keeping ph as high as possible. anyway im just trying to grow some vegs but i think...

    8 PH and herbs are growing why is that, i supposed water ph was very important

    ok got it, i just thought the 5.8 to 6.5 rule was for ALL plants, so if they vary so much in ph requirements then i have my reply, then parsely and chives must be weed cousins cause they are not sprouting still XD

    8 PH and herbs are growing why is that, i supposed water ph was very important

    no wait im not trying to torture an innocent plant, the reason i ask this is because im actually watching how some herbs that were supposed to not survive (i let the aerogarden on with lights and put nutes like every 2 weeks, but dont do anything about ph) are growing really well with a ph 8...

    8 PH and herbs are growing why is that, i supposed water ph was very important

    But then is not a matter of not surviving, is it a matter or grow rate? could i grow marihuana on ph 8 then, just that it wont grow as fast and bushy as ppl taking care of ph?

    8 PH and herbs are growing why is that, i supposed water ph was very important

    Im new to this and decided to begin with a little aerogarden and their seed kit. My idea was to learn managing ph using something organic. After failing i decided to buy a reverse osmosis filter, but while i look around for it i supposed the herbs growing in the aerogarden left with a continuous...

    Are there ph meters that can be stored dry without the need of any liquid

    Ive read there are different kinds of ph probes in meters. Are there affordable ph meters for hydroponics not needing to store them in liquid to prevent probe from stoping to work. What about the best kind of meter, i mean: Pocket meter, or bigger cotinuous one that can either be moved or...

    Is organic ph down some kind of joke for noobs

    Thx for clarify, so i understand better what the reason behind organic grow is. I didnt now earth juice was a single brand product, i thought it was a kind of product sold by many brands, and that some made it not full organic. Is that what you use, which would be the best to pair with biosevia.

    Is organic ph down some kind of joke for noobs

    Dont let me down, dont be cruel with my stupid and contradictory dream :) Yep in fact, in europe, you cannot get organic certification unless using soil, so you are right On the PVC part i try to find which material is a system made of before buying it, so i dont buy PVC which is dangerous and...

    Is organic ph down some kind of joke for noobs

    Im beginning to think that full organic aeropony and hydropony is impossible because there is no way to adjust ph organically (without regular ph up and down). My findings are: Vinegar: push down ph for ONLY 24 hours, and leaves an sticky trail behind. Baking soda: pushes it up and is...

    my tap water is ph 7.7 receive ph down and up bottles and GOT MY ASS SCARED

    Your method is great, and i agree with you. Not playing with ph would be the best way to grow plants as long as you can count on bio nutes and resting the water apart for 24h to get usable ph for plants to absorb nutes. I find also that in case u really need to use ph modifiers that little...

    my tap water is ph 7.7 receive ph down and up bottles and GOT MY ASS SCARED

    hmm, so choices are, organic groth with algae warfare, or toxic growth killing beneficial microbes. I probably will try to go organic route using some vinegar, and see how hard it is. If it is too difficult, will keep organic nutes, and use those ph up and down to kill algae. Maybe beneficial...
