No worries,checking runoff ph means nothing.Whats your water pH?

Why does run off mean nothing? If you put in 6.0 and it comes out 4.0, that’s okay?

just my opinion but ph is the first issue to address in the root zone

don’t be sad over a question what’s up

Hello guys, how you're doing?

I think my plants are with P deficiency (leaves darker in the middle) what do you guys think?

Any suggestions on how to low the ph? I've been measuring it wiTh pH straps from the run off water, and it's above 7 :(

I tried lemon juice, white and apple vinegar dilluted in water, but their leaves doesn't chance much this inside darker colour. I think their leaves are also too small (what do you think? I'm not advanced at all, pretty much begginer, 3th indoor grow) despite the lst. (Maybe small leaves because of the lst?)

Any thoughts?

I just did a top dressing with 2/3 peat moss (try to low ph of infiltering water), worm castings and ashes (start flowering soon)


160w house led buld (20/4)
Peat + vermiculite + lime (think added little more than I should've) + worm castings
I water them every 7, 8 days, or when the pots are light enough to move easily.

Thz!

It's soil...just worry about the ph going in. Bqck off the nutes... they are burning.

What broscience Bible told you to leave the plants in darkness for 45hrs? That's straight retarded.

This is suposed to stimulate a flowering hormone to speedup the process. Check some results in youtube 'bro.

There are people leaving them 72h on darkness and it seems to speeds up bud formation.

How's your garden?

To lower pH, substitute some nitrate with ammonium.

www.smart-fertilizer.com

Ammonium - Nitrate Ratio Requirements by Plants

The correct ratio to be applied also varies with temperature, growth stage, pH in the root zone and soil properties.
www.smart-fertilizer.com www.smart-fertilizer.com
Thus, when the plant takes up Ammonium (NH4+), it releases a proton (H+) to the soil solution. Increase of protons concentration around the roots, decreases the pH around the roots.


Accordingly, when the plant takes up Nitrate (NO3-) it releases bicarbonate (HCO3-), which increases the pH around the roots.
