Around 7.5 - 8 out the tap. .. & I pH down to 6.3 usually.
6.3 is the low end of uptake …

Not sure why this ” has “ to be a complicated bottle grow. Believe it or not …. FFOF can be made as a tea , medium top dressed with
MORE FFOF , some Kelp in watering for cytokines for bloom , maybe a little mammmoth , that’s pretty much it.

PLUS you need to range ph to PLANT and Host Medium. Raise ph of water and or supplements to 6.6 / 6.7 + to make more elements “ available “ . All that unnecessary bottle stuff is your root cause.

I caught grey mold on my 1st growth. that's why I'm using anti fungles. and I improved my air flow since. I think I'm doing the right thing.. fuck if I know. Trying to learn as i go & study up. and I thought microbes were good for the soil. so if I'm killing them right after putting then in. By using anti fungles. How in the fuck do you add that shitt into your regiment?! I'd like to know how to improve my situation, if it's not right. I guess I'll get back to reading up.
Dont use antifungals or chemicals?
I don't think I've ever sprayed a chemical on my weed or watered it in.

I duno man. I'm not gona tell you what to do. But if it were me I'd take care the 'stuffy house' issue first. If your house has mold your weed will get mold. I'd drop my rh% and get some air movement going. Dont think like a commercial grower eg blast it with chemicals so it doesn't mold. Instead try to grow the plant so it's healthy and can ward off disease and mold and keep the area clean and disinfected. Use filters to filter the air going in. Etc.
I have bought 2 germ guardians with UV lights in them with Hepa air filters. they are filtering my grow room and blowing the air directly into the intake fan. I also scrubbed everything down with 3% hydrogen peroxide mix inside the tent between grows. and everything outside it got bleach water sprayed. Believe me, I am doing everything I can. I just want to grow my own medicine. This is new to me. So Thanks for the advice, & yes, I know it's hard to give advice. For you're not in that person's shoes. I was more asking about Ocean Forrest & if it will take me through flower. But I doubt it.

I feel you. The improvements I made might be good enough. I just wanted to be sure I dont trash another pound of cannabis. After reading up, the products I choose seemed safe for fruits you eat. So I went for it. Hopefully with time I dont need any of that shitt. Thx. Again for the words.

What do you plan to use as a bloom formula? Bottles or dry amendments?

I have a bottle of pH perfect Bloom. I also have a bottle of G.H. Bloom & another bottle of Kool Bloom from my last grow. Thinking maybe I'll crack open the pH Perfect formula & use a little of that next feed. *future grows I'm going to look into dry amendments to add in. But for this grow, prob. Use a little of what I got.

All that stuff is chemicals. I don't use that stuff.

I've been watching videos on building your own soil and it's intriguing. that's my plan in the future. I dont like bottled chems.
Same. I pretty much just top dress with dry amendments now and feed plain water with yucca. Perfect for my lazy ass. I've got all kinds of different stuff I've been experimenting with.

Well, I havnt yet either. Lol. On this grow. Fuck. I think I'll just leave her be. She looks good to me. If the leaves loose thier color before the end. Then maybe then. Thx. Again.
I'd keep it organic. If you want something easy to use as a bloom top dressing there's stuff at Home Depot even, like Dr. Earth Bloom and Bud. I use different stuff, but lots use that and it's decent.

You know.. . I had it in my head to just use what I already have. but that doesnt mean I need to use the bottled nutes. I'll just use the soil i have. I think I'm done with the bottles. Dtarting right now DAMNIT! I haven't used any on this grow so far. so I might as well stick with it. Seems soooo much better. I hope my local sells Gaia Green soon.
