I am growing both WW Photos and Autos. 3 regular WW and 4 autos. My Auto Girls will be mommies before too long. They are very easy to grow, with your soil all they will need is a little properly PH’d water

Whew. I’m glad you have that. Miracle NO is the best for cannabis. It’ll still grow it, just not the best way.

@jetlag I keep coming across PH stuff. I think I will need a monitor thingy for that. How has pH levels affected your grow? Do u have to adjust it often?
I have learned here about PH, as well as PPM and relative humidity and much more. The basic skinny, and all you wizards here please correct me, but the plants love a PH between 5.8 and 6.5? Our happy frog and ocean forest tests around 6.2 in my soil which is great there are many inexpensive digital gadgets out there that will work. I have some from a company called Apera, more expensive but work very well. If PH gets too low the plant has a hard time uptaking the nutrients it is a science I have learned and I grow lots of veggies so this is helping a lot.

I was getting ready to ask for help, but you already have some great folks helping you
@Covertgrower, @Davyg, @Bulldognuts, @Skydiver, @Shatter, @Myfriendis410, @Oldguy, @AAA, @dbrn32, @QueenCityB
I have asked these great folks to chime in as well, and I apologize for those of you I have forgotten your names, I had a couple of drinks, but all these folks along with others will set you straight, lol. The White widows are mostly self sustaining, with a little bit of help from you

Ph can lock out nutrients if it is out of wack. Take a look at this chart on the soil side.
I like to play within the range between 6.3-6.8 depending on where I am in the grow and what my slurry test tells me. I check my ph every time I feed or water and you should too. I will do a slurry test every couple of weeks to make sure I do not have to correct my soil ph.
I have this ph tester and it is what I recommend. It is a little more than the inexpensive ones but is a lot less headache. Plus I trust it and I never did with my inexpensive tester. Get the calibration kit or solution also.
Oops I already posted this information. Well ya get it again

Bromothymol blue chemical testing is all I ever use, it’s always accurate and never needs calibration.
Peters started adding blue dye to their CaNo3, when I contacted them they told me that’s what the coustomers like, they like their furtilizers blue.
I called “bullshit” because yellow plants and blue dye makes green. It also adversely effects Bromothymol blue chemical tests.
I found another supplier and I don’t think blue dye is a nutrient and will never add it to our custom blended plant foods, because my plants ARE green and don’t need the help of blue dye to mask the yellow.
(a deserved punch in the gut for Peters and Sterns miracle grow)
