Superthrive AND Grow Big in the same gallon?

Thoughts? I’m down to my last 5.5pH gallon and can’t get anymore until Thursday., I’m thinking I’ll just add it to the same gallon.It has a very small amount of super in it. My grow big came in today and my plants need food? Can I use a tap water for a single time (I assume it has a pH of 7.5-8.8ish). Any help is appreciated thanks. Outdoor grow, 8 weeks old, blueberry muffin and Mac 1 pH running about 6.0 in the soil.

Superthrive won't hurt anything but it also doesn't help anything.

The benefits espoused by Superthrive have been thoroughly debunked.

One of many on the topic:

University of California research on vegetables failed to prove that B1 reduces transplant shock or stimulates root development. Researchers found "no discernible differences in color or vigor among treatments" when B1 and B1 plus iron, manganese, and zinc were used on peppers, pole beans, squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, and watermelons. Elsewhere, studies on chrysanthemums, citrus, and roses have reached similar conclusions."

So you don’t match the pH with what you want your soil at (5.8-6.2)? I want to think that would make the soil more alkalotic? Meh. I’ll take your advice though, thank you.

Just so you know I was teasing about the bomb thing.

But if you're growing organically there isn't a need to adjust water pH unless it's really off. My well water is like 140-150 ppm and around 7.8 usually. I don't adjust the pH. The microbes in the soil will buffer it on its own usually.

Do you know the ppm of your water? And if you want to lower the water pH, a tiny bit of citric acid will work.

Is that the Fox Farms Grow Big? Because that's not organic, so if it's that I would adjust its pH.

Yes it is…..well fuck. I just gave them a light feed; not enough to throw me in any direction substantially. It’s their first feeding anyway, so i cut the dose to 1/4. Thanks, I’ll monitor the pH

It'll be totally fine. Just noticed that it's the FF nutes. I started in FFOF, but went with organics from the start. Lots of people us it with salts though.
