I would try keep your soul ph between 6.3 and 6.8 at the most 6.5 is ideal I have found but some strains are more picky than others

He is in living soil it self buffers pH.

I'm pretty new to this didn't realise soil could do that I just never put anything in that's above 6.5 and it's worked so far but I'm learning all the time thanks mate

Ah okay I've been going primitive I just push my finger in as far as I can if any soil residue I leave it I only water when totally dry has been working but perhaps I will look into it the top picture is og kush others pineapple chunks

What is your blumat

Blumat sensor wise I try to keep around the 70 mark I’m still hand watering at the min as I’m awaiting few blumat parts so will be setting up 3 carrots with 2 distribution drippers on each carrot ASAP

That's a good target. I'm dialed in and set at 62.
Once you find that target for moisture your plants will explode with growth. In the past 2 grows of mine, top growth was slow at first, but once the root system expanded top growth was 2" per day. Blumats are invaluable to me, I can't imagine growing without them now.

Cool
Been toying with blumat for a couple years now the more I read the more I’m loving them believe they can been bit tricky to dial in but well worth the effort thank you for your input mate

Looking good broski! I was skeptical of the Mars lighting but I I bought 2 of the tsw 2000 panels. For my last grow they did a decent job, not as good as my CMH lamps but the reduction in electricity to operate and constant cooling heat emissions of HID is worth the switch. I would however rather have gotten (2) 3000 panels instead of the 2000.

Just some food for thought... if you haven't already, consider purchasing a power stabilizer for your LEDs. Voltage constantly fluctuates at the wall and this can burn up the power drivers. I have a 1200w stabilizer I power all my LED lights through. It's a Line-R 1200

muchas gracias, mi amigo
Yer Mars light is doing good at this stage still 65% power and about 18” above canopy
Will have a look into the line-r 1200
