New Grower Need help with my Lowryder#2 seeds!! HELP!!

[wg]

So I added the 8.25 ml's of the micro after ph'n the 6 gallons of tap water to a 5.6
Ahhhh, brotha no! Did you check pH after adding the nutrients as well? What was it if you did? Ideally, you want to pH AFTER adding nutrients.
Check this chart out, you should aim for 5.8 if you can. :booya:



We take care of each other here man, one day you'll be able to answer the questions of new grower's and pay it forward. That's all AFN is, one big community that just keeps paying it forward brother! Good vibes to be had, good vibes.
:cough:

Also, remember - citric acid (what you're using for pH down) is a very weak pH chemical and will require you to change it often. You're better off using aquarium pH until you can acquire your GH products. Wal-Mart and Pet stores typically have them in stock at a reasonable price. Try not to use pool pH conditioners though, IN MY OPINON, commercial grade pH control is not needed to grow cannabis. As well, fish LIVE in aquariums, a living species.. nothing lives in chlorine and chemical manufacturers must compensate for this in some way.

InHumboldt... Can I use the water thats been nuted and properly ph'd in the resevoir to do my flush that i just made?

 

[Casper79]

I ph'd before and after Goodies. I now have a 5.7

 

[Casper79]

Ooppps....lol....Note taken to ONLY PH AFTER Goodies. LOL. And I saved the PH chart pic! Thanks

No need to pH before, you're just increasing the PPM of your water doing that and the plants may take up less nutrients and you're also jeopardizing the stability of the pH'd solution.

@InHum: fool proof is a loaded deck, but on the contrary MITJ did say "pretty much", which means it's not 100% fool proof.. I do respect the idea of pH checking you water no matter how good things are going, if not for anything else, "just to know".

 

[Casper79]

Thanks Goodies!!!! If I take a pic of my seedlings, Can you tell me what you think? I have a sweet 1080p camera to get good upclose detail.

Definitely brother, I'd be honored man. I love when people participate in the forum and I can offer any advice at all and if I don't know the answer I can always get some one else involved.

 

[InHumboldt]

It would actually be better than just Ph'ed water. It buffers better ect. "Don't toss till ya know ya lost"

 

[Casper79]

Awesome!!!! :booya:

Here are my (3) Lowryder #2's I sure hope their okay. Keeping my fingers crossed for good luck XX!!!!!
I just flushed the cubes with ph'd water too from the resevoir.

Brother, those tap roots are ready to shed the shell soon - they look very healthy and VERY good, don't let them hit the air too much and get 'em potted ASAP!
