Everything seems to be going fine. I haven't fed or watered them since transplant. They shouldn't need food for 10 to 15 days. Up to this point I haven't PH'd anything. THey are going 12/12 tonight.

Promix makes a buffered coco mix. Promix hp cc.

That's not overwatering. It is the beginning of nitrogen toxicity. If not addressed it will ruin your grow. Nitrogen can be removed from the soil by flushing.

Roots nutrients are raw and are best when used with a living soil. They only have a tiny bit of water soluble N. They are not fast acting, they have to be broken down by the soil microbes, which in turn feed your plants. Are you dechlorinating your water? If not you might as well be feeding...

I was under the impression that soiless mixes like promix which are mostly peat are buffered with lime. I think I read somewhere promix comes out of the bag with a PH around 5.5, but I could be wrong.

Hi guys, I have had a couple discussions recently about the need to PH your water/solution when growing in a buffered medium. There is research that implies that adjusting PH is not necessary when using a water source with an alkalinity less than 100 ppm when growing in a buffered medium. My...

How are you mixing the nutrients? My understanding is that it's important to mix the protekt first. It can cause problems you don't mix them in the correct order.

I've heard both sides of the RO debate. The makers of promix state somewhere on their website that RO water can cause problems in their mix. They explained the science of it but I don't recall the specifics. I think if your using a city water supply it would be wise to find out the...

You are correct, it could go up or down. Your water only takes a couple drops to move the PH, but let's say someone has a high alkalinity which is the waters ability to buffer acids they would have to use more to move the ph down. i would say that for some like yourself it's a non issue...

I really think that people screw a lot of grows up by not taking into account the NPK value of their PH adjustments. I can only imagine how much PH down it would take to move a nutrient solution mixed at say 1200pm one point on the PH meter. At least 5ml per gallon, maybe more. Thats gonna be...

It takes about 60ppm of PH down to put me at 6.5 with tapwater, much more when using nutrients. Considering that 10ml per gallon of Blue Planet nutrients(2 part) only adds 38ppm I would say it definately effects the big picture over time. Botanicare actually shows the NPK of their PH down. 0...

If I understand correctly, so long as your alkalinity is below 100 there is no real need to PH ones water or solution in a buffered medium. I started thinking after my dumb ass realized I was poisoning my soil with phosphorus by PH'ing everything. It's my understanding that phosphorus doesn't...

After having a spirited debate with another member here I did a bit of research on the effects of PH'ing your water and nutrient solution. It seems that alkalinity, or the amount of carbonates and bicarbonates of your water, is more important than the actual PH of the water. I found that if...

na I was just agreeing that the plants look a bit crispy and 1700ppm is high regardless of nutrients. And yes dyna is quite concentrated.

You can't swing Yea, it's ALL very acidic you moron. Citric acid will accumulate in the soil just like phosphoric acid. Google it dumbass. You can't swing $15 bucks? Daaamn. 99% of the people on these boards are new to average growers and grow ave to shitty weed. They try to be what...

I think this guy is on to something. I would listen to what he says. LUV me some dynagro!

perfect analysis.

For all the world it looks like you burn't the crap out of them.
