catweazle1 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) In DTW as long as your feed pH is below 6.5 in coco don't worry about it.... no need to aim for a number. pH5.5-6.5 the plants won't notice. Even down to 5 won't hurt if you accidentally go that far one feed. The important thing is runoff and don't do it it too strong. 1.2-1.4ec is fine, Base water reading is good about 0.4-0.6ec. Make it up to that range if its lower. Coco can be greedy nicking the cal and mag ions. Edited June 24, 2022 by catweazle1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true and it would be even worse now. I do love Scotland, one side of my family originates there, but I'm not sure I could stand the weather. Another cheap option is rural Spain, but the challenge there is making any money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reassuring news with my grow style I genuinely thought 5.5 to 6.5 was the window and read so much about 5.8 being the magic number. So is it correct to say that the plants are getting the same feed from 6.3 as the are 5.7? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it correct to say that the plants are getting the same feed from 6.3 as the are 5.7? The pH is constantly moving between waterings... usually up. Same with other hydroponics. 5.5 to 6.5 is a good range but 5 won't kill them. IYou are more likely to hit deficiencies slavishly holding to a number I think because you are missing out the other pH levels that are optimal for each element. This is something that I picked up off the DWC growers. I tend to be on the low side in veg (below 6) and on the higher side (above 6) in flower. As long as it's between 5-6 in veg and 6-6.5 in flower, I think no more of it. If you keep your feed simple ( A and B, a tonic or seaweed) and keep the feed at 1.2 (unless they clearly want more) for adult plants you shouldn't have to do more than the occasional runoff ec check. It's a good thing to do often when you are learning but as time goes on it isn't really necessary to do it when you are doing the same procedure everyday. If there's a sudden swing in the environment that might well change things and a check would be useful.

badbillybob Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 and people just stick at 5.8 because they are too lazy to find out what the plant needs during various stages of veg and bloom. its a compromise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweettooth Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 G13 TP is a killer. pulled 9oz from her last round, flavour profile is immense, so much so so I took cuts and made a couple of mums and now 30% of my current run is TP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
