ok so im using fox farm light warrior as my soil and they started in jiffy peat pellets. the ph level of the soil is 8. i gave them some nutrients last night ( botanicare liquid karma, pure blend pro for veg and a small amount cloning solution) i just bought some super thrive and ph down. should i repot them in phed soil? and do i just throw some ph down on the soil? and if anyones used super thrive, how should i use it to help them out now?
Im really sorry to tell you but if you dont know this you have a long way to go before you grow successfully.
OK pay attention
Ph of 8 in your soil is too high
Soil should normally hang around 6.5-7.
In my personal opinion yes you should repot to better soil remove the peat pellet if you can these things suck and hold too much water.
The Ph down
to use ph down you mix it 1-100 5ml in 500ml and adjust gradually being carefull not to go too far either way as nutrients prescipitate out of the solution if it hits 4.
Super thrive
This is a plant hormone stimulant and very very strong. You only need 1drop in a gallon of water and the ph will go down heavily from adding this. You can add it at any stage of the plants life once a week.
You will need some way of testing your ph of your water before you use it. keep it to around 6.5-7.
When you water wait for the top of you soil to go dry a couple of inches down and then add enough water to get some runoff out of the bottom of your pot.
And in the mean time do some research please.
