No need to adjust nute solutions outside as you are correct. Mother nature looks after that job for you. K.I.S.S. is something that must always be remembered. You are not direct feeding nutes to the roots as you would be in a hydro grow either and the ground works at neutralizing things

Thanks. Definitely for the new guys this is a warning. My experience was this. Promix soil supposedly dump and go, a shake of bagged topsoil, and perlite. The Promix is supposed to feed for up to 3 mnths, so lets just assume you get 1 mnth. If your starting soil was in the mid 6's and I have...

TLO, but at the time it was not an option. If you are using liquid nutes, they are hot and dramatically change pH. I know that now, but most inexperienced growers don't know about cooking their soil, you dump from a bag into a pot and go. You need to have the ability to be cooking your soil...

If you are using a soil straight from a bag with a pH of 6.2-6.5 and you add a nutrient solution of 4.5 ph honestly what do you think it does? Nell is right on the money. If you do not adjust and you run 30 days veg and 70 days flower your plants will be absolutely nuked before you are done...

If you use ProMix or a bark based soil the pH is naturally low and you will in fact lock out all of the nutrients if you do not pH your nutrient solution. If you use it straight from the bag with Perlite and add nutes to your water bringing them into acidic pH your soil pH will dip half way into...

Paradise Seeds Acid exhibits this trait in one of the 2 phenos. Could possibly be genetic.

I had one heck of a time getting anything in to water the back plants. I ended up using a hose which became a mess, and if you get sick plants under a scrog screen that you cannot reach all the way around you run into troubles too. I would definitely try leave yourself at least an extra ft if...

lmao. TRUTH

4' ft is gonna be extremely tight for a scrog setup. You need adequate room to access the plants and pots throughout the grow. I had a tent grow that was scrog and even that left for hard access. In a small area with a low height clearance your best best is dwarf autos in an SOG or one LST...
