    needing help with a pH issue in pro mix

    I started mixing in about 30% more perlite into my promix, started clones at 5.8ph -adjusted to 6-6.2 in veg and 6.2 thru flower and last 2 wks of flush at 6.5 and things have never been better...the biggest difference maker was adding the perlite. The soil drains much better and actually dries...

    needing help with a pH issue in pro mix

    Considering the pH drift in pro mix would it be more feasible to adjust my PH from 5.8 in veg up to say 6.2 in flower? As I said in the last post my girls are beautiful all the way through veg and through their stretch in flower, it's usually at week 3 of flower . They start exhibited...

    hermie, what should i do

    If you have the ability to isolate the plant, by all means do so! Generally a herm is a female that grew male components, but the base D.N.A. is female, IE. all your seeds you gather at harvest are basically guaranteed females with a possibility of a few trending towards herming again. If you...
