Lighting Auto Xtreme & tape water ph7.2 grow bet

[Taipan]

Got stoned last nights at my friends and we were talking shit as you do.
my friend was out of PH down and I said they will be ok with out ph down for few days.
Cut long story shot, we made £100 bet I have to grow start to harvest with tap water with out ph down.
So I have grow fat buds and 3OZ plant.
this going be hard work but I up for it.
just dug out some Auto Xtreme and going start 2 seeds in kitchen paper today.
its going be in 18l pot coco/soil mid 70/30.

is it cheating if you use lemon juice,vinegar ? its not PH down
adding a few nutes to my water about 7.2 lowers it a lil so all good there.
i think you a winner already

Thanks, the money will be in my pocket mate.
I am only going use tape water with nothing to bring ph down. lol.

with decent Coco you should be OK man, the pH will be buffered and all will be good.

I managed a grow without checking pH, wasn't too bad.

Good luck Bro!

@Taipan, your avatar makes my skin crawl.... reminds me of these 2 guests in my garden last year..... on it's own you'd be forgiven for thinking the one on the right is a Taipan, but the other is definitely a king brown, so one must be male, the other a female. A little later on I saw a few juveniles around, so these 2 must have been getting it on! This was taken 20ft from our pool!

Growing without ever using pH down should be fairly easy, presuming your tap water is OK enough to start, you've got good buffered coco, your soil is complete and potent enough after you mix it with coco, and/or you use Adv. Nutr. pH Perfect base nutes (which I use with coco and never even check pH).

Consider foliar feeding using Transport/Optic Foliar or related OF products. That way, even if your soil pH shifts, the plants still can get whatever you feed them foliarly. I particularly foliar feed cal, mag and Si, with these salt-based additives likely the ones you most want to avoid adding in your main feeding if you are not adjusting pH.

@BII I do foliar feed once a week only stop foliar week 3 into flowering.
I just going stick to canna nuts, I will win this bet mate.
