PH Info

So anyways I think I'm going to stick to baking soda for the time being I rarely have to ph up. Well I might have to do it more because the tiger bloom is super acidic but I mean I'm adding in a 1/16 of a teaspoon to drop it like 1.5 points and this is once a week when I feed if I even have to. I won't even come close to even adding a teaspoon to my whole grow. If a teaspoon of baking soda can fuxk off a grow then im sure we would have heard something by now right? Thanks for the info yall.

Just a guess. Are you using FFOF, and the Fox Farms Trio?

u guys and ur homemade ph up and down methods lol.

invest in a ph up (or potassium silicate) and ph down. theyll probably last u hobby growers a lifetime (i dont think ph up or down expire) cause theyre so concentrated.

evolve from the days u have to squeeze a few lemons just to get a decimal or two worth of ph down. i stopped doing that after the first time i started. pain in the ass.

Baking Soda = Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium doesn't present any nutritional value to cannabis.

Potassium Silicate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate are better pH up buffers because potassium is a nutrient cannabis can use.

For pH down I prefer phosphoric acid in flower and it works well in veg but some like nitric acid in veg.
