[BeanTownFan420]

[BeanTownFan420]

And fans on containers dry soil plus make sure there is plenty of air flow under your buckets.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

I use soda bottle caps and gatorade bottle tops to keep my buckets elevated for drainage and air flow its very important.

You don't have to raise them up a foot. I'm in Michigan, and I keep my tents on top of 1/4 inch heavy duty floor mats. They insulate from the cold basement floor, and allow air under them, so moisture can't "pool" up. Been through some seriously cold weather with no issues.

When i had mine on the concrete had very small plants and all kinds of nute trouble..i have 10' ceiling so i just lifted them a foot by building a wood frame..makes it easier to tend to also..prolly dont need a foot but enough to get good air circlulation ..my floor so cold

Hi Iv Been growing in fox farm ocean forest and need some help I need to know if it's good to drain to waste in the soil and my soil pH is dropped to 5.5 i've heard to use dolomite lime is this true ? And if so how do I apply it and how much do I apply? And where does the soil pH need to be and what does the water pH need to be or do I even need to pH the water if I add the dolomite lime ? And if I'm growing in a 3 gallon pot veg them for 4 to 5 weeks and transplant them into 10 gallons what I need to add any fertilizer I need as many tips as I can get anything would be helpful Thanks

Uh, you should care more about pH going in than what comes out. If I recall correctly, The pH should be 6-6.8 with about 6.3 being ideal I am doing my first grow in Fox farms ocean forest too. Never added dolomite to mine. As others said, looks like your soil ran out of nutes. FFOF is supposed to have enough nutes for the first month and you are past that point. If you look at my sig below, You will see I fed my plants nutes in small doses over the last 30 ish days or so nand they are now 50 days old. Mine are also in 3 gallon pots. My journal also mentions what I fed my plants and the dosages. Regards Ed

do you ph your water I've been doing that at a 6.5 should I quit pHing my water from now on or will that hurt my plants

 

[Edzzed]

I do pH the water in my reservoir. I don't care what the pH of the runoff is. When I fist started I did not pH the water as it was Nestle pure life bottled water. I later found out it was a pH of 7.3 YIKES. I promptly started doing the pH and plants like it.

 

[Captain Cannabis]

I currently PH my water, as I'm in Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I feel that the "sweet spot" for my plants is 6.5. I recommend that you keep checking the PH. Consider it a safeguard for your crop.

If you would like to get away from the hassle, and loss of time, look into True Living Organics, or Doc Buds Hi-Brix. Both are highly effective ways of mixing your own soil with natural additives, to give your plants everything they need from start to finish, without the need of extra fertilizer or the hassle of PH'd water.
