advice on my grow

Your tapwater has a ph of 5 really ? Beer has a ph of 5 too sure your using the right tap ? lol

Makes me think your ph meter is not working correctly.
According to the EPA, a pH of 5-6 or lower has been found to be directly toxic to fish

More reason to get RO water or even bottled water for the babies. Older plants will handle it better.

Same for ph up also one mistake and they fry.

They will probably be just fine, sounds like you are on top of the situation.

Wow i did not know that im not surprised tho i live in a large city. When I get my pay check im gonna invest in a couple cases of bottled water just to take that out of the equation. As for my my ph kit i have a liquid ph kit that includes a liquid dropper tester and ph up and down it comes out red which indicates low ph i basically just add a little ph up until it tests the shade of green for 6.5 just so i know if its up or down a little it will be fine (i also add my nutes before i test ph). And yeah im obsessed with growing weed ive done countless hours of research im gonna be a pro once i get the experience lol.

this is just an update as far as i can tell tho my plants are thriving i applied some lst to even the growth i lowered them to where they are almost as short as my little ones albeit way more bushy heres some pics

If you look at the pics from a couple of days ago you can definitly see the difference i wish i would have taken a pic before i tied them so you could see the height difference it made i also defoliated just a little bit.

PH adjust right before feeding, not the day before. Ph changes over time so you want it correct when it goes to the plant. Or maybe I misunderstood.

Just an update i have immensly improved my growing situation i made a homemade reflector today out of piece of aluminum pipe i bought at my local lowes heres some pics it costed me 12 dollars now thats an economy cfl grow boys. it works spectactularly well wast hard to make i also have the round reflectors in there my girls are gonna love this

Yet another update the grow is coming along very nicely
