Different strains can behave very differently despite being given identical growing conditions. They have different nutrient requirements, different growth rates, different veg times, different flowering times, etc. It's important to do the research into the strains you will be growing so that you have a good idea of what your different strains might like and what they won't like. One strain you're growing might be a very heavy feeder, while the other one might be very sensitive to overfeeding. It means a little bit of extra work to give your different girls different feedings, but it will reward you in the end.

Your a good chap, Kindred :smokebuds:
The strange thing kindred, is its the same strain , from same seed co. BK & MILK have.
I think what the confusion on at least my part and I think BK is about the ph going in and going out??

I would give it to her, because chances are you washed the majority of it away with the flush.
Ahh... Milk's post mentioned the similarities / differences between BK's Northern Lights and Auto Hash.
pH'ing your runoff is your only option for getting an idea of what your soil pH is in the absence of having a good soil pH probe. To do this, water until you get about 10% runoff. You then test the pH of your runoff. Then determine the difference between the starting pH of the solution that went in and the pH of your runoff.
If your runoff pH is higher than your starting pH, use this equation to determine your soil pH:
Soil pH = Runoff pH + Difference
If your runoff pH is lower than your starting pH, us this equation:
Soil pH = Runoff pH - Difference.
For example, say your the starting pH of your solution before it goes in is 6.5 and the pH of your runoff is 7.0. The difference is +0.5, so using the above equation:
Soil pH = 7.0 + 0.5
Soil pH = 7.5
If your starting pH is 6.5 and your runoff is 6.0, your difference is -0.5 and using the above equation:
Soil pH = 6.0 - 0.5
Soil pH = 5.5

Cheers bro, just passing along the info that others were kind enough to pass along to me. :smokebuds:

Looking back at BK posts and the problems I am having are some people say they don't bother with checking there run off and go in at 6.5 read that runoff is not accurate due to the soil holding nutes and say they have no problems doing it this way?
So I guess I really want to get the best info on this and follow it to a tee.
thanks for your help KINDREDSPIRIT 4 breaking this down!

Testing runoff to get your soil pH isn't 100% accurate, but it's your only option when you don't have a soil pH probe. It will give you a close enough idea that you'll be able take action when you need to.
