I know I know nothing of fertilizers and ph balances but maybe vinegar or baking soda in small amounts to adjust ph in either direction. I'm not saying go out and do it but if anyone has id like to hear stories. I bet it would work.

if you add molasses to your water it will lower PH and it is organic.......

I get mine from walmart or Smart & Final......I don't know if it is 100% Organic. But I use it on my "organic" planting bed ladies....I use the Grandma's Brand or Brer Rabbit.......they are in the syrup section.. I don't know what else to use for PH down that is organic though.

Your ladies are looking beautiful and if you got them from the club then they should be female, keep up the good work!

 

[gunjamonster]

yup your rigth epson is for m newbie mistake lol

 

[knnthc93]

tell your lady to go to a organic market to grab the molasses

 

[FresnoFarmer]

or a health food store....like GNC or Vitamin Worlde or however the fuck they spell it lol

I am not so worried about being full organic....I have been buying and smoking random weed for years so as long as I know what is going in.....and making sure it comes out. Then I am fine.....I hear organic tastes better.......idk though....I have smoked some great synthetic grown weed that was delicious and not harsh at all.

Me too but I'm spending too much a month on it (especially because I've suddenly become a homemade BBQ sauce snob). I'm thinking it's time to start checking SAMs Club for Grammas Molasses.

You don't have a local Smart and Final?? I got my gallon jug of Grandma's for 18 dollars......and I have heard that Ag centers sell 5 gallon buckets for 20 bucks or so

Dissolve it in a cup of hot ass water first.......And I use 1 tablespoon per gallon.....Go to lowes or home depot, they are always stocked with Alaska Fish Fert. And Brer provides a good amout of Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium.....it also provides some Iron. But it REALLY feeds your soil and helps chelate/unlock the nutrients that are already in the soil. It works great for me

sweet. due to my high ph im afraid cindy went nto nute lock n thats y she looks dead. n wen i say dead i mean DEAD. i checked her today n i see sum green so hopefully she pulls thru after sum of my adjustments.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

You should be good bro.......there is a video on youtube where some guy grew a pound indoors with no fan leaves in flowering lol......He hit a major deficiency and it cost him density but he still yielded a pound of fluffy buds lol

 

[drdavegreenthumb]

[FresnoFarmer]

u usn a 600w too? cuz im debatn between a 600 n 1000 for my exact same space but ill black tarp the top for an outdoor "indoor" grow. dont wana pull a ton of energy but im thnkn 6-10 plants at a time.

 

[FresnoFarmer]

I was gonna do the 1000w but I don't want to have to run any loud inline fans for ventilation(it's a grow room within a garage) because it might attract attention......if I have the 600w I should be able to run it with just a couple regular fans
