New Grower G'Day from OZ. 1st time grower here going to use the Auto-Pot Hydro System

Typically the PH should be 5.8 for hydro, 6.5 for soil, and maybe somewhere in the range of 6.2-6.3 for soilless (peat moss like premix).

Check these out:

shit, how did my coco/perlite get so high over 6.0? Sent a PM to duggy and he says he doesn't care much about the PH of the coco, only the water and nutes. Chart #2 says higher PH is ok or "best available" except for a few trace elements like phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Shit, I'll just let it ride.

Usually pHing the water is what let's you control the pH of the coco. I would keep pHing your water, after applying nutes, to 5.8 and the medium should adjust. I might even water a tiny bit heavier than you normally do, not flushing though, to help really saturate the medium with water at the correct pH. The potassium and phosphorus are super important and around 6 you will start looking out the K.

If you like growing in coco a lot too maybe take a peek at Advanced Nutrients pH prefect line. Unreasonably expensive but if you use really low ppm water the nutes themselves will adjust your water pH to 5.8.

Best of luck man!

it OK for the pH to come out @ 60-61,i like keeping ph low in vegging but one she blooming i like it around 5.9 6.0, by then my ph going in, is 5.8 by the time me girls are done me ph is about 6.2 6.3 on the run off Peace Kudo.jpg
 
Checked the runoff of the partial flush and it was at 5.8, 5.9 so it looks good now. Soil PH readings have stabilized around the pot at 6.

Gave the 60DW a foliage spray of seasol and powerfeed. Maybe it'll help correct any nute deficiencies until I get my PH pen and do up a batch of nutes properly.
 
Day 4 on agp2 and she is still this small. Only been giving her a shotglass of water every other day. Been keeping her under a humidity dome. Temps avg 77. Running an airdome under her during the day. What am I doing wrong? Am I that bad?

I'm looking into it but the prices don't seem so bad. So, do I need Sensi Grow A + B and Sensi Bloom A + B and a 3rd item, can't remember which. What all of these products do I need at once?
 
Personally I use Sensi Grow A+B, Sensi Bloom A+B, and then the hobbyist bundle which includes Voodoo Juice, B52, Big Bud, and Overdrive.

I generally use grow until ask vertical growth stops and then switch over to bloom. I also follow the out of the nute schedule provided by AN just scaled back a bit and ramped up slowly.
 
Listen to Twigglius. Sonds like he has a great game plan for you to follow

How much was the hobbiest bundle?
