I watered very late last night. My ph of my water was pretty good I figured at about 6.45 or so, but my run off in the pan was super low at about 5.9 or so! Should I water again today with higher ph, to try to straighten things out??? Was too tired to deal with it last night like I think I should…

Do u use something to look at trichomes @blackthumbbetty and @raustin ? @OldSkunk said he has a 40x loupe, but finds it hard to keep in focus…, (or something like that, I think he said…)… He also got a hand held micro scope or something like that too, and says that works good but he has to cut a pie…

I bought a usb microscope & a clip on microscope, but I still have the easiest & best success using a macro photo app on my phone. I just can’t keep my hands steady enough for those fancy camera-scopes. If I’m not worried about taking pics, they work well for checking, just not sharing.

Oh yea… I prob. got resin on mine too by now!!! I keep doing that too!!! tryin to figure out how far away to hold it. Thanks @Sixpackdad . I will have to check that! That would make it look blurry too!!! Let me see if we got the same one… in a minute… I am jus using the 60x’s too…

Mine looks just like ur’s, (the Beemoon or whatever, lol) @Sixpackdad , but I got a Dreame one, or something like that…

This is what I use. It clips to the phone to take pics. I love it. https://www.amazon.com/Qooltek-Clip-type-Microscope-Magnifier-Universal/dp/B00K1ANJWK/ref=pd_aw_sbs_421_of_55?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00K1ANJWK&pd_rd_r=b937cdc8-e08e-11e8-9610-817859b593e5&pd_rd_w=eFgMv&pd_rd_wg=UEULb&pf_rd_i=mobile…

Thanks everyone for the help!!!:sunglasses:

Back to the original topic!!! lol Is it normal for ph of the run off water, (the ph of the soil…) to get lower as the plants get older? Is that something I need to look out for? I do not know, or can not figure out what I did wrong for this to happen? Other than I was often or sometimes wateri…

Good question, I am not really sure. The pH is going to change depending on what’s in the soil. Growing in coco, when I water with 5.8pH, I get a higher pH (typically 6-6.4) on my runoff. There does not seem to be any correlation between the runoff pH and the ppms. So, it’s easy to speculate tha…

Well, that is interesting that u water with lower ph because u know that ur run off will be higher!!! lol hmmmmm Thanks for the reply…

My ph of my water was at 6.45, but my run off was at about 5.9, should I water again today?

That’s why flushing before bloom is recommended by many nute systems. If you schedule regular flushes, you’ll be able to prevent your grow medium from swinging too far in either direction.

Can I harvest the middle bud on an auto plant, and leave the rest growing?
