Doesn't make it good practice. Everyone's water supply is different. I use ph perfect nutes and they still only get my ph to 6.8 add the 3 amino acid tablets and that takes it to 6.2 which in my opinion is still off for coco but they're happier with that than water ph'ed with either phosphorus or sulphur ph downs.

I knew I should have added a disclaimer saying water supplies differ haha.

Yes, I know other may have to ph their coco, was just saying I don't have to as with my water. Once I add nutes im sitting around 6.3-6.4, and my runoff is always around 5.6-5.7. The perfect range for coco, I've read is between 5.5- 6.1 or 5.5-6.5, so it seems to be perfect

Hey guys tonight wftn and I mixed up two separate gallons of fish emulsion and one from last night. The first one we tested was the mix we made last night to test and see what we needed to get ph up or down. When we tested last night it was 4.0 and tonight it was 4.0 so we started with one mill ph up and worked up to 6.5 ml to ph7 so we took our finding and made two more gallons, the same mix of fish and added the 6.5ml ph up and test results were way alkaline. We were like dam ok let's take a 50/50 sample of each and test that, results were ph7. We than made one more gallon but just added 5ml ph up to this one and it still tested way alkaline. We just took a crapmshot at mixing all three gallons in a bucket and tested the mix results were ph7 so we gave the dry girls two cups each of 5ml fish emulsion to one gallon of water mix. Sorry no other pics tonight the foliar spray worked well but buy the time we got down there tonight there symptoms were showing badly again. Also any thought as to why the ph mix was so far off from the one gallon mixed the night before and the fresh ones we mixed tonight

Don't know if it's your answer but I have been told not to let my fish emulsion sit over night or extended time because it goes bad quickly. So I mix it right at the time of use. I sometimes throw some ful power in with it.

I'm very happy to hear you're plants are on the mend! I don't have any plant updates today but I moved a wall in the bedroom to give us more room for the king bed we got a couple months back. We actually have some room now!
