I dont like going outside of the range too often. 6.8 for the next couple feeds. 6.9 and 7 works too… it should raise a few points each time. Just continue to monitor runoff.

I was having the same issue with low ph and had a tough time getting it back up in range. What worked for me was using a little bit of baking soda to get the ph up. I tried using ph up and it would raise the ph for a day or 2 and then it would go back down under 5.8 and the baking soda has kept it above 6.3

I use baking soda as well. It works like a charm, but i hate advising people to do so. Just sounds semi unsafe (for microbes maybe?)
But again ive used it on nute days (easiest thing ive ever used to bring pH up) every other week or so for years now.

I did a slurry test the right way this time. I used 1 part soil to two parts distilled water. Let it settle and measured. My pH was 6.0 and my PPM were 563. They are about 5 weeks since sprouting out of the soil. I think thats okay. They look good so far.

I can understand that. My suggestion, to eliminate this issue, would be to always plant 1 more plant then you think you will need. If 4 plants will give you enough weed for 3 months plant 5. Better to throw one out because the other 4 are too big then to have 4 plants barely fill your grow space. Remember too that the plants will continue to grow in size for a couple weeks after the first pistils show. It seems to me that auto’s will multitask at a few key points in the grow. Example- vegging through preflower- both bud developing and stretching occur at this time. Instead of growing long branches then growing buds it seems to do both at the same time. Don’t quote me on that, just something I’m noticing as I learn the ins and outs of this rewarding pastime. Be warned, killing plants on purpose will make Lady Marijuana angry

I vegged my plants for like 4 or 5 weeks so I started another amnesia haze and put her in 12/12 light schedule at exactly 3 weeks from sprouting and she is budding already and still stretching. I wont try that again. My other 4 zkittles are kicking butt right now. Another few weeks and they will ready to harvest. Does anyone else notice that the zkittles dont give off that much odor? I dont have a carbon filter and the smell is barely there but they are sticky as hell and you can see the trichomes, so I dont know.

I know. If my plants could talk they would call me a pain in the ass! I am always in there, looking, checking temps, water needs, etc. It never ends. lol I love it though and I dont even smoke this stuff, I make edibles for sleep and other medicinal needs.
