Agree, for a starting PH way to low, are you using tap water?
Also,
You may want to try not adding everything at the same time
Feed only Nutrients on feeding day
Calmag, microbes, microbe food on water days when you are not feeding
For some reason I think when I read my numbers I kinda got the dyslex. Said them backwards. So I actually ph down instead of up. I’ve been putting things on the note cards bc it makes for better reading. Not my chicken scratch mess of numbers all over the place when I’m writing them down. I’ll do a better job lol. But yeah so when I ph down I about . And had to ph back up again. So prolly that did it. An I didn’t want to post expecting a reply instantly so thought instead of wasting it just run with it. But yes since your help from the first feeding I’ve always had to ph up and not by much. Been working great. Little burn tips are from the solution I sprayed to manage some pest.
Right now the tops are running 550ppfd. When you guys think a good time to introduce the ac infinity side bar lights. After my second topping? Prolly doing to be doing that soon. They are showing their 4th node I believe.
If you really have to bend tough branches, here’s what I do : When you slowly roll the branch you want to work with between your thumb and index, it should make it a lot more pliable and easier to move around…
That’s the only way I can work with the NL#5, they’re so stiff and prone to breaks.
I tie down the main until the branches get going and tie them down. At that point the mains will/should stay down on their own. Most of the time anyway. Same with the secondary branches, after awhile they will stay down. Except some plants will fight you throughout the grow and you have to keep them tied down
It’s like the branches will most of the time hold the buds up, but some will need sticks to help hold them up. Or you will end up with weeping willow trees for plants.
It’s what makes growing so fun, there’s no telling what a plant is going to do until it does it
Edit = just wanted to add. There’s no wrong way of doing this stuff. I show you the way I do it to help get you started. Later you will try different ways and eventually you will pick your favorite ways to do it
Should I trim the lower big bad looking fan leaves?I know these girls are in need of a drink but Im going to be transporting them to a new home in 4 days. Think I should give them a drink or keep them dry?
