are you using dolomitic lime in an areogarden ? there is just too much food in lime to use constantly like that. plus all the food in your tap water.
plus lime dont lower ph , it buffers it. so either way your ph is gonna stay between 6 an 7. which is fine for growing but the extra food will kill them. then if you want it around 5.5 or so then youll never get that low with lime. also in my limited experience in water its best to set your ph to 5.5 and as the plant eats it will raise the ph slowly. when it gets up to 6.5 then lower it back down and your plants will recieve every nute available between 5.5 -6.5 .
there is no "perfect" ph because different foods become available at different ph's.
the big bloom is more for dirt then anything else. its basically a soil conditioner and a food for microbes. i guess it can help in water too but thats beyond me. most will say microbes dont help in water. (my opinion is microbes help everything)
your just over worryin. no big deal.... it will make you better in the long run.

Hehe, I chuckled over the whole lime thing... Whyteboi was talking about the mineral form of lime, and all this time you were talking about lime juice... Never fear, lime juice aint so bad...Well most of it happened a little after I put it into flower. In the pics I have posted you can't see a lot of things. For examply my lower 5 bladed water leaves have spots on them, are curled up, the tips are brown. The top colas on the plant have fan leaves with rust spots on them, yesterday they were looking yellowish. The stems even had a yellow color going down them. But like I said, I am not worried about it anymore and I think I have it under control. Thank you for the compliments though. I appreciate it so much man.![]()
Maybe, I really don't know. You must've been using it for ph down. I Think there is probably some oils in the lime rind that might be bad after a while, but it's pure speculation... Sounds pretty organic and healthy to me, I've even heard of people using aspirin because it's an acid. Also, low doses of aspirin have shown to be beneficial to plants. After all, it comes from a plant. But to be safe, some traditional ph products are probably safest... Not too expensive either, a drop goes a long way, especially if you use r.o. water.It can be bad after using about 2 table spoons of it in a gallon water for 5 weeks straight....lmao

all summer my strawberry cough looked like regular buds till it started getting colder
colder room=better bag appeal
colder room=lower yields
Been running this for years and everybody just craves the taste.Great work everybody .That would be "Cannalope" from seaofseeds
