There is as many ways to grow cannabis as there is growers. It's a very sturdy plant and many opinions about what is the best way to grow them. Personally I always pH the water before I feed them, even in soil. There is very mixed opinions about this. I know you do not have to as the soil will be a buffer for you, but I do believe it's better to feed them their nutrients in a solution that has the pH the plants like, soil or no soil. (There is as far as I know no scientific proof for my claim. This is just something I believe) So the last thing I do before I open the tank and let the plants drink, is to pH the water to 5,8. But I try to be careful and not make the water too acidic as that would do more harm than good. Therefore I take good time and lower the pH very gradually.
Sooooo,
Got a good question to my inbox from a person watching about pHing. Now personally I don't pH my nutrients or feedings.... In my eyes its like preparing a super meal for your microbes/ecosystem in your pot then covering it with bleach. Acids can kill all benefical microbes/fungi so i don't pH.
