It was planted on 11/17 from a seed started in distilled water.
This is what I have. I don’t have a ph meter yet.
I have well water and want to start using that.
That is my plant today.
The ph pen I ordered.
She will not be ruined. She could just start using nutes now. Fox farms is ok, better and more user friendly nute lines out there. Ive used ff in the past. So when following the nute schedule, the ph would be around a 5.7 before ph’ing to 6.5. You will only need ph up. Your water could be different but im guessing you would be around there. You could get away with using the big bloom safely without ph pen since that is organic. The other two are synthetic.

This is only a guesstimate not knowing the ph of your water.
I use the fox farms trio myself.
Mix 1/2 teaspoon big bloom 1/2teaspoon tiger bloom 1/4 teaspoon grow big and a full teaspoon of calmag with a gallon of water. No ph up or down till you get your pen.

I only use ph down with the trio. Starting ph around 8 after adding it is around 7 to 7.4. In this case here it should be 6.5 to 6.8. I run promix bx so I need 5.8 to 6.1. We will have to wait and see what his water ph is.

Wow thats a really high starting ph. My water is almost always a 7.1 @160 tds.
My ppms are in the 300 range. Plenty of calcium so I don’t use calmag only epsom salt. To much calcium blocks other nutes. @Poseidon1

Its about maintaining a balance. Too much of anything is bad. And correct, too much calcium will block the pk nutes specifically. @DRsDank
Yep yep. Was getting yellow brown spots on my leaves like a potassium deficiency. Was giving calmag every other feed. Done away with that and started adding just the epsom for magnesium and low and behold no more spots.

Did you drill some extra holes in that pot to help it dry out faster. Check these out with a full flood it takes 3 or 4 days to dry. Last forever and always clean. I’m not a fan of fabric fo my application. The price is for 10 pots.
