New Grower Honey's Journey

[Af_mini]

Go Box is good. Not sure about organic pH up down though. When I feed , I give my plants just pH water for first feed. Wait 12 to 24 hours for soil dry then give nutes for second feed. Then repeat so it's like water, nutes, water, nutes, and so on

Gotcha. I am going to have to do this. Could be one of my problems. Deff don't want to over nuts. Thanks. I was looking at Ph up an down maybe I'll just get the original on it says organic, orange an blue bottles but says hydro wondering if I can add to water with nutes to bring it down if needed

Lemon juice will move it one way, i dont remember which cuz im still learning.

Yeah that will bring it down same with vinegar which I was using. I never checked Ph of run off. I am going to do that tonight

Yeah the General Hydroponic pH up and down kit is for both soil and hydro. Always Add nutes first. Nutes will bring pH level down. Check pH at last. For my example, My tap water is around 8.0. I add nutes first and check pH to see it at around 6.9 or so. Then I add pH Down to where I like at 6.0. Hope this help

Yes that does. My tap is 6.5 after I add what's needed I test my gallon and I'm at 7.0 God only know when I feed but I'm going to test the run off tonight .I think it's my meter hubby got a cheap thing. I think I need a good meter .

I only test what goes in and hope the soil takes care of it from there. Not sure its right but since making sure what goes in is within range i am much better off. Also, silica will make the ph go up and is beneficial to the plant structure. I use it but am only on my first 2 plants so not an expert. Good luck!

Yeah. Go for it. I have the purple color HealthyWiser pH pen for $25 bucks on amazon. Very easy to calibrate and it has been in good use so far for me.

I don't know if I made a huge mistake but after watching some videos an reading some stuff. It could be a number of deficiency to my ladies or maybe even lockout at this point. So those whom have been following me known I am a risk taker. This is my first grow so why not make my mistakes now right??? Lol
I flushed guys. And when I mean flushed I mean bath tub flush. Luckily my bathroom water is ph'd at 6.5. I was a bit hesitant on doing this but when I seen the nasty dark yellow/ brown Shit iam kinda glad I did. If I was still a stoner I'd light up to that. with that being said I've read a lot a out feeding and yes I prolly should of did this before I started growing but excitement got the best of me..Any who, everyone has their own way. Some feed with nutes every to me they water some feed nutes an the next time just plain water. Both ways work for certain people. Well, I have been feeding with nutes every time I feed which is deff the cause for all that Shit to come out. I FEEL different about growing right now. Weird. I just hope the next few days while they are drinking it fixed the possible lockout. When she needs watering again I think I am going to do plain water with molasses as I am waiting on my general organic camg+ and liquid seaweed. Hopefully, this will be it and I can't somewhat have a fresh start to the time I have left which is a few weeks. I don't think my yield will be anything to big but a couple of ounces if that. But I've learned a lot for my first grow. After everything these poor beautiful ladies have been thru, if I do get anything I still feel I achieved.
Now, for my next grow which will be a few months. I am moving guys an will need about four months before I start again. I am thinking of going with root organic soil mixed with Dr.earth home grown mixed an use the go box line up. Now I think to my understanding is with the go box line up if it's 5mls of something I should do 2.5 instead? Correct me if I am wrong. I see people talking about doubling up but I'm not so sure I would want to do that. Any clarification on the go box line up with the soil mixture I'm using would be GREAT.
Please share your opinions positive or negative it's important to me.
Happy Growing

I would say stay positive and work through this grow. Try to keep it as simple as possible. I have read that many use very light nutes at the end of flush to not starve the plant. Good luck!
