It sucks DICK to have to stand at the sink, fixing the ph for EVERY gallon of water I pour in.. jesus christ it was HELL!!

when you get really good youll now about exactly how much of what to add. ps- if your flushing with distilled and no nutes and you go to ph it it will swing like crazy. much more stable if you add just like 1/4 tsp of tiger bloom and thats it to your flush water(i add hygrozyme to my flush water with 1/4 tsp of tb to keep it stable and ph it)

careful using both that can lead to trouble. try and just work up to 6.3 slow so you dont go over

what you mean using both? Tap water and Up/Down Solutions?

Its impossible to tell 6.3 with the dye.. and the vial.

if i had a digital meter then ok but i can only guess taht its between 6 and 6.5

i had that on one i think when i gave cal mag to early. if your using tap it has stuff in it for people like calcium and thats unregulated by you when you give it to the plant. my guess is overfeeding in that area. use distilled and just remember gold on a stick! or an ro water machine if your real snazzy

how do you distill water????? just leave it out?

Also.. what do you think I could yield after seeing those pics? I was hoping for atleast 1 oz per plant. And do you think they will fatten up?

Last Q. Since i flushed with reagular tap water phed correctly.. do I need to REFLUSH with distilled? Or just feed it distilled from now on?

distilled is just pure water with nothing in it but h20. poland spring distilled gallons at the store cost $ and their a pain to lug around but will work. get the ro machine if you have a chill place to grow

let your water sit 1 WEEK to make sure it dissipates then adjust your PH and feed as usual

why dont you just fill a few gallons and let em sit....trust me i had this same problem...its brown spots that turn into holes eventually it DOESNT look like nute burn or a deficiency...its the cholorine...or just buy poland springs water and adjust ph accordingly,BUT IF YOU HAVE TO USE TAP LET IT SIT ATLEAST 3 DAYS IN AN OPEN CONTAINER TO BE SURE THE CHLORINE DISSIPATES
