Not sure how many seeds are in this freebie pack, seems like a waste of money to pack one seed so fancy.

Somebody said to start young plants at pH 6.2, and in flower drop to pH 5.8. I thought I was doing pretty good if I could get pH near 6.0 for the whole grow. Somebody posted a chart a week or 2 ago showing mineral availability at various pH levels. @JP1 was that you? I should have bookmarked if.

Maybe. I might have posted the floraflex chart that pretty much says hold 6. But there's a chart i see here pretty regularly that shows the actual range. I'm sure @Lil Dab or @Mañ'O'Green has it

There's a few charts but there all very similar I ph to 5.8 every time/once a day in coco and it always drifts up through the range for the whole grow

That's what I've always done. But these nutes don't really drift much until about 5 days, So I've been shooting for 6 but I won't touch it at 5.8

Pretty sure main NPK prefers a ph near 7.0 and micros near 6.0 but don’t quote me as my memory is shit! Thats why in the middle at 6.5 is preferred!

Thats for soil tho

If you ph to about the center of the range, the plant will emit various sugars back to the microbes and shift the ph to where it needs to be for what the plant needs. I only adjust if it gets out of the range and then I shoot for the center again.
