    The Importance of pH

    I asked because I haven't pH'd in a long time. I have been running into strains where they never really filled or got as dense as I would have liked. Almost all of the environmental anomalies have been fixed (Humidity, temps, light leaks, CO2). So Im beginning to think that some strains really...

    The Importance of pH

    Hydro is not a form of grow medium. It is a system of growing. Peat is considered a "Soilless" MEDIUM, coco is as well. These mediums require more attention than a "Soil-medium". Hydroponics requires the cultivator to complete the natural balance of nutrients, minerals, and bacteria.

    The Importance of pH

    I am looking to a more Coco based mix... Any thought on how it will effect the pH? Would a straight coco mix or low amended coco mix disrupt the pH of the medium? I understand that Botanicare Coco mix dose not need to be amended with CalMag like traditional coco...

    The Importance of pH

    I only PPM. PH ing takes longer than I want to spend on mixing nutrients. Dialing in my regimens and mediums allows for less work. Using a PH perfect product like "Connoisseur" from Advanced Nutrients works well as a base nutrient and is actually effective at regulating PH to keep it within...

    Are you keeping them in those Biggie/Big Mama cubes the entire grow? I have a friend who uses that technique in Cali. His "ish" is Fire! I haven't seen the whole process though. But I have seen in demo a system where the cubes were in a tub that would fill and drain. Seems legit. I haven't...

    The Importance of pH

    I researched AN pH Perfect nutrients.. Basically they use a highly chelated blend to start with, which for some is used as a standard or stand alone base nutrient. Also, the proprietary blend of acidic and "alkalinic" ions that coat molecules for a "Smart" release at particular pH levels...

    The Importance of pH

    The biggest issue that I have experienced and see other growers do, which isn't exactly the worst thing you can do......but Nitrogen is is a mobile nutrient within the plant, there are many purposes plants use nitrogen for. Normally a nitrogen deficiency will tend to yellow the leaves...

    The Importance of pH

    Great input. Epsom salt raises your pH significantly but it has essential nutrients. AN so far has worked the best for me. Vegamatrix was good but weak and never really came to full fruition. Sense A/B was probably the lower end of the nutrients used so far. AN Connoisseur A/B has been a...

    The Importance of pH

    Using soil definitely gives you a buffer in many areas. But with the AN "pH perfect" I never pH when I feed. Even with adding humics, great white, epsom, HiBrix, enzymes... i still don't pH. Its been a practice over time I guess by just using the EC/PPM I know where Im at. So say I want to...

    The Importance of pH

    MJ usually prefers a sub 7 pH so using aquarium water is fine. In fact, it is an excellent source of organic Nitrogen and beneficial bacteria. Same water used in an Aquaponics system. Yes, adding the fish tank water to the tap water will dilute and lower the pH of the solution. However, most...

    The Importance of pH

    Found a really simply diagram showing how plants uptake nutrients at certain pH levels. If you have any other input about pH; like how you do yours, what you use to correct your pH, do you even pH, etc.... Thanks.
