New Grower Ph perfect feeding question

[Mainemedical]

Thanks gtron. Is that for autos or photos? I currently have a few of both going

autos @ 1/2
photos should be able to handle full strength.

You should be fine with those readings, no need to pH adjust anything. Just add the nutes and you should be good to go. I had to stop using the pH Perfect. My rain water pH was over 10 and it wouldn't lower it to a reasonable range.

myself also...except my well water is 9.55...so I would ph down then use the PH perfect to find that hours later the "perfect" wore off... PH shot back up... I also have been finding this out with the PH down... I mix it up(water) and 6 hrs later its up again...

So I should be using my nutes every watering?

Its not a thing of should or should not...its what works for you. With a lot of multi size containers I was in a pickle figuring out what got watered and what didnt so I go with every feed... But I'm all organic now and just use ph'ed water...

Personally, I prefer to feed a lower dose every feeding instead of alternating feed/water. Like Cres, I find it's just easier to keep track of things that way.

Thanks muddy:thumbs: could I alternate between using 1/4 and 1/2 strength? I wanna try and make these nutes last as long as possible and still allow my girls to get what they need

You could do that but I wouldn't be too concerned as the AN nutes last a long time growing autos. I did try upping them to 3/4 strength but found that to be a bit too much. I've probably grown over 40 plants with mine and have only used about 1/3 of the bottles.

Its funny I'll sometimes see people complaining that AN's nutes are too strong.

Too strong? You're supposed to dillute them! Of course they're too strong in the bottle, that's why we add water. If you didn't add enough that's hardly the nutes fault, right?

Too strong... it's like complaining you got too much product for your money. Concentrated is good. More concentrated is better.

We know what's up. Run them right and the nutes last fooooorrreeeevvveeeerrrrr.
