While I have been successful without a ph pen, having your ph absolutely exact WILL make a difference. I wont even say it might, I will go out on a limb and say it WILL. Unless your ph is already in the proper range. My well water comes out around 5.4, add in nutes and it drops even more. If I didnt ph, I would fuck my plants up bad, Ive done it before. If you dont have to adjust your ph, your are one lucky sob, that doesnt come down to skill, it just comes down to your water luckily being in the proper range. Good frosty ass nugs like that Bolo Kush is some skill, but the ph being proper without adjustment is just plain luck. Add in humic/fulvic acid, and it drops into the 3 range, let me see your plants do good still without phing that. They WILL wilt fast. Even if your soil contains the proper stuff to control ph, it wont be able to adjust it fast enough to save those roots. Now when I use Deuce Deuce Natural from Humboldt Nutrients, I dont have to adjust it, it goes into the perfect range on its own. I wont call that skill at all, its luck that it levels out there, has nothing to do with anything Im doing. Not to take away from anyone, but this is something I posted about before, if you dont have to ph, your lucky. If you had my water, you would have too, simple as that. If you didnt, your plants would suffer. Apparently the rain water is perfect. 5.9 is an acceptable range for just water. Now if you were to add nutes, you would probably have to adjust it, since its a water into composted soil kinda of method, your golden. Thats actually fucking perfect, not having to add nutes, or ph, thats a dream. Reminds me of my outdoor days, never ph'd and hardly fed. Used water from a local pond, and it never did anything negative to my ladies, they always loved it. Also I should say, if your teas were as dark as mine, a test kit will do nothing for you, a ph pen is the only way for an accurate reading. @DST I would say the yellowing came from the ph drop that occured when you added nutes to your water, and no ph adjustment, thats why its been perfect without the nutes, because your ph is at a great level. With your current setup, you dont have to ph, which I am jealous of!! And that Bolo Kush looks fire, but my GFK, Acid, and Heribei have the frost beat on that lady at 4 weeks into flowering!!! They are special ladies of enormous frost, is that Bolo Kush available it seed form by any chance? Id like a crack at that chunky ass lady!
