New Grower Skunk #1(growers choice)

oldtimerocnrol65 · May 19, 2021

There has been 0 branching to date her sister is smaller but starting to branch out, I tied her back a few days ago, was trying to skip last trying to get room done and these at same time. Money time crunch.

I use straight tap water 350 ppm at tap with sulfuric acid to ph @6.2
fox farms happy frog soil
5 gallon cloth grow pot's
jacks blossom booster
1000 watt 6 inch cool tube hps
8 inch extraction fan and carbon filter
Al in a diy 5ft x 6ft panda film grow room
cooling and heating 10x10 room tent is in with
400 watt hps
4ft 8 tube t5 ho floro for veg
4.9 put skunk autos in distilled water for 24 hours
4.11 planted under t5 florescent
5.1 switched to hps
5.13 started feeding jacks blossom booster

the pictures are from yesterday ill get some with light off soon @.25 grams a gallon Evey watering

Well done for starting your first thread!!

I'm now subscribed (as in my settings I automatically subscribe to all threads that i've posted in)

Good luck with this one! I'm sure you'll get plenty of help along the way if you need it!

Just a heads up (it may have been a mis-type) - Sulphuric acid is battery acid, and I'm not sure if it will be good for plants at all.
Mostly people use Nitric acid for PH down (or the purists may use phosphoric in bloom) .. or if doing organic, Citric Acid (lemon juice).

Good luck with the grow!!

Thanks
You read correctly , I was told it was good for them its like 3-5 ml per 15 gallons of water. I think I'll go research it in more depth :/

I've just done some research (as i've never heard anyone else using it) ... But yeah, apparently food grade sulphic acid is safe to use in hydroponics and offers the largest PH dropping ability per volume of ALL the acids.

Sounds lethal!!

It can be bad gloves syringe and dedicated area helps, btw i suffer fromm memory issue at times and try not to assume anything about what I'm doing is correct so thank you

@oldtimerocnrol65 :welcome:

Welcome to AFN :welcome:

I have not seen a plant that did not branch that I remember? I believe this is genetic but I have also never seen home growers using sulfuric acid for PH down? Nitric Acid becomes nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid becomes phosphorous, and Sulfuric Acid becomes sulfates. So Nitric in Veg, Phosphoric in Bloom and Sulfuric when you do not want to change the nutrient profile.

When I PH my 10 gallon reservoir it does not change the nutrient balance very much at about 10 PPM for either of the nitric or phosphoric acids.

Overall your plants look good. Carry on.

thanks for the info, and yeah I've never seen this but but only have done a few grows a while back..
I went to medical grade suferic because I was not able to stablelize ph and it was taking massavie amount of phosphoric or nitric, since then I have had no issues. So if there's a reason I should change i could use
