Just buy PH down. It's actually made for what you want it for. Just add it one ml at a time in ten litres of nutrient solution. Obviously it's the last thing you put in and if you go too far don't be tempted to add PH up to correct it. Start from square one again.
Also I concur about the photo plants. You have zero control over autos. I have never touched them but I've seen some and they vary a lot from the same strain. One can be like a small bog brush and another can be massive. If you go 12/12 from seed or one week of veg you'll keep them small. The only problem is if you find a winner you won't have a clone to grow it again. Unless you keep a couple of buds on the plant and re veg it.
Good luck.

thank you for your advice oscaroscar, gonna see how these go for another week and if they dont shoot up i'll germ some fresh seeds i just got - same strain so still an auto hopefully getting some photos after my first harvest.

12/12 from seed for photos?

Yep 12/12 from seed or rooted cuts. You should get them finished under 18 inches

wow, that sounds ideal - would there be any time for stressing? would be pretty cool to mainline a plant that size + i dont mean to sound lazy but if i have barneys LSD or barneys tangerine dream and do the 12/12 method you just described, what sort of height and seed to harvest time could i expect? 300w CFL

56-65 days is easily achievable with that method.
You would be better off with cuts because you would have predictable uniform results

Runs offs, ph'ing lmao

Ive done all that yeah and carnt say i noticed any differnce maybe i just got good water where i am?

Tasted many peoples strains and aint even being twat mine has tasted better lol ok maybe not all i was abit pissed last night, had some amazing bud from a few pukkabud,wdragon,bizzle and carnt never forget that bluepit from mantizm was proper good.

Point was tho ive tasted alot of peoples grows and many times the same strains ive done and most had been ph'd,run offs n all the bells n whisltes n just werent as tasty not saying its not the better way to grow cause of course it is your in more control of the plants but is it totally needed to get good bud most deffo not IF your water is already alrite in the area you live and i spose your not using too many nutes that messing with the ph badly, ive always kept is very simple with the nute spose thats another reason i got away with it.

Aslong as your temps all good, you got good strains, enough light i.e 2 or 3 600s and you feed em enough plus i might add a good dry many people get too hungry and waste 3months for the sake of a good dry then you got good smoke.

Go soil for taste it carnt be beaten, hydro for yield but you lose the taste, coco for a happy in between.

the only reason i have autos is for the speed and short size, i would agree that autos do best outside but atm its not feasible for me to grows a photo inside. i have a few auto seeds left, hopefully my situation has changed by the time im done with them.

You can train and tie any photo to pretty much any size you want to a degree but deffo with 1m limit

Autos are shite but your find that out yourself soon enough, and thats the best way to learn from your mistakes and plenty of reading....

Too many ways to grow and to many opinions in any thread, lol at all the bored vets pipeing in with all help

All the best tho and hope your grow works out for you

thanks for your advice the advice mate, im definitely leaning towards photos for my next grow, fingers crossed this one isnt too bad when it finishes. fixed the ph last night and the plants have perked up straight away - got some proper pH down coming tomorrow so fingers crossed that puts this problem to rest. would love to hear any advice on dropping temps - i have two fans extracting heat (both 4" and not extremely powerful; for noise reasons) and i cant get temps below 29 for lights on

i read a quick article today about the police in Rotterdam. By all accounts if you are young and well dressed (i.e wearing a rolex or something)...they can stop you and question you about your means and if they think you cannot provide enough evidence to show you can afford it they thwy can sieze it....like wtf is that all about.

See your not putting a shift in either lol i left that up for 4hrs

Still free and think or hope it will stay that way more i think about it im fine, but the no word at all from em and still got me comp makes me worry a little.

The warrant was for some heavy class A and they done the raid in full hazmat suits with breathing gear and ambulance n fire brigade with em lol so i did shit a brick when it happend but should be fine

like class AA?:)
fuk me sounds a bit like the film Brasil. Nowt like making you sweat for the max time. How long do you have in England before they have to take you to court...use to be 8 month i think in Scotland. My first drug charge i got my summons a week or so before the deadline....grrr.
