Hello folks. Thanks for looking. Just wondering what is the best ph range for different stages of an autoflower life?
Have been 6.0 mostly through whole grow before with like 0.1 either way.

I am at the seedling stage just now.

Regards,

My sweet spot is 6.2 but it’s best practice to let it bounce around a little allowing for different nutrients to become more easily available also deep into budding I raise it to 6.5 as the soil is becoming more acidic.

Thank you. So it is more of a range than an exact science and aslong as I am in at that range I will be good. Magic.
Thanks again,

just to add so its clear yes its a range but try keep it between 6.0-6.2 that seems to be the sweet spot under led anyways

Vary the pH, lower for veg, higher in flower. If you look at a nute chart, hydro or soil, N is available at a lower pH than P&K.View attachment 1281494
That chart is for soil not coco. Coco Falls in with the Hydroponics chart. hydroponics-ph-chart-marijuana-sm.jpg
Posted Hydro one just so there is no confusion with the appropriate PH ranges with the OP grow.
6.5 with veg, 6.2 flower
also more of a PH for soil the OP is growing in CoCo..

So I need to go down to 5.7 for manganese and over 6 for good calcium and magnesium uptake.
