Grow Room Micro Grow à la Spaghetti Sauce

[Wile e Peyote]

I've seen that chart. Yet most others show a higher start and end range. I've seen at least three conflicting charts. This one is supposedly tied to a specific brand's nutrient line. I personally would like to see a chart put out by a plant biologist, thus I take all these charts with a grain of salt. Look around for some other charts, then you'll really be confused! If low ph works for you, good! I'm not a hydro expert by any means, but I put my faith in science every time.

@pop22 I've tried a whole grow on 5,8 ph that didn't turn our well I try for 5.8 to 6.2 but I don't mind it drifting you've just got to read your plants I don't even use calmag till they start to bloom using autopots and a res as long as it stays between 5.7 and 6.2 that works for me I think a bit of ph swing is a good thing [emoji106] I'm by know means a hydro expert just hoping to learn [emoji111]

I toke therfore I am so naaa

pH swings between 5.5 and 6.5 are just fine in coco but you got to keep in mind that if/when you'll have salt build up your pH will go down so I'd say it's best to water with 6 to 6.3 pH soup. As you say, as long as you read your plants and take action accordingly, it's just fine to let it drift.
Also, if you use beneficial micro organisms (I do and I love it) they will buffer a bit the medium and help the plant uptake nutrients so a pH of 6 is fine as they will adjust it to their/the plants needs.

I have some Hydroguard and havent touched it, it was an impulsive buy. Ive asked previously in this post about hydroguard and didnt get a reply. Any feedback would be great.

Hydro Guard is beneficial bacteria, etc., that helps keep the rootzone healthy. Its a good product to use in hydro! Can be used in soil also.

day 24. The ladies will not drink today. Mixed some nutes for tomorrow. 250ppm. 1 ml of micro bloom and grow each and 2ml of calmag per g at 6.1ph. We started some bondage and found out she liked it so i did it some more. [emoji7] [emoji13] . Then I whipped up some sauce for the family tonight. I sautéed a pound of sliced pork loin and I'm letting it marinade in the sauce on low for 4 hours. Now the tough decision... spaghetti, angel hair, or penne?

Still no preflowers... I think I might have some photo periods. I'm going to give it one more week and switch to 12-12.

That's nothing to worry about. I wouldn't make any hasty adjustments, just yet. Everything is looking great. plus, the longer it takes to flower, the bigger the plant, the more buds, the more happy.
