Yes it’s a very expensive source of nitrogen too, I would rather avoid it if possible. I’m going to go with sulfuric or citric acid to try and keep all my n/p/k ratios balanced

I wanted the choice between the phosphoric acid in the Cyco brand I use and nitric acid.
Here’s an example. I hit week 5 of flower this run and noticed some yellowing but didn’t jump on it fast enough. It would have been nice to add the nitric acid as ph down just to add a little bit of N. I didn’t want to dump my tank yet, as it had good ppm left in it, but most of the NPK gets used up first, so I could have waited a few days on a res change, while topping up with nitric acid to get extra N, instead of just boosting P like I did.
I found a 2.5 liter bottle for $60-70. It’s 70% acid so cut it in half with water. 5 liters of ph down for $60. I pay about $50 for the 5 liter jug of Cyco.
I’m sure it’s not for everybody though.

I’ve got to use raised beds here or my plants would be drowned by now. Clay based soil too, so if you dig a hole for the plant, the water runs above the clay layer and pools in the hole you dug and filled with great soil.

We're getting close to the flip where I live in Eastern Canada. I've got 4 plants in homemade containers. They're 4 feet in diameter, 2 feet high and made from hardware cloth, and I wrapped burlap around them to keep the sun from heating them up too much. I've got some fence posts and 4 foot...
