New Grower Lowrider 2

[Muddy]

I was hoping you would see this and chime in. I remember all the vinegar experiments you did back when we were on TMF. What you are using is the same stuff, distilled white vinegar.

BTW, next time you're in the market for a new soil meter take a look at the Control Wizard Accurate 8. It's the same as the Kelway only it has a slimmer 12" probe instead of that short stubby one the Kelway has. Since I bought it I don't use my Kelway anymore. That long probe lets you get right down into the roots for a good measurement.

I thought I would chirp in cause I am a big time vinigar user. I would rather use vinigar than pH down product or nitric acid. I am never sure what distilled vinigar is so I will not comment on it. I use plain white vinigar that you buy in a grocery store. I put a cup into a 2 liter pop bottle and fill the rest up with water and use it at that strength. I have experimented with up to 3 cups of vinigar and still had no problem with plant damage to a healthy plant. That is my experience with it.

I think a decent pH meter is totally where it is at. I use two of them. One is a Hanna, great meter. The other is a Kelway that reads the same but you have to be dilligent in keeping the contants clean with a scrubby sponge and occaisional buffing with 000 steel wool. I think a meter is essential. I have used test strips and I hate them but if that is all you can afford it is better than nothing.

Welcome to the Forum!!! You'll find everyone here quite helpful and full of knowledge. I guess I've been promoted to a step above newbie. My first grow was lowryder 2 that I just harvested a few weeks ago, they were ready at 67 days. Its a nice high, more of a head high from what I got out of it, was hoping for a little stronger, but I still like it and am back to growing them for my second grow. From what I've learned from everyone here is to be patient, thats the key. I use promix soil with a mix of some other good stuff from Muddy on here, and I use the fox farm trio for nutes. Good luck mate, can't wait to see some bud

That's going to depend on your starting pH. It's been a long time since I've used any vinegar and honestly I don't remember how much I used. Maybe add a teaspoon to a gallon of water and test it, then adjust from there. I've not used the one you mentioned. The vinegar works fine. Save that other money toward a pH meter.

ok i went ahead and started with a teaspoon of white vinegar and moved my way up gradually to about 20ml plus the teaspoon which was about 3ml in my left over solution of fert and molasses which was about a galon short of a litre.As i researched white distilled vinegar and white vinegar are the same.Hope that's right.these are my current ph levels..its slightly heavier then the 6.4 color on the color chart so i'm guessing it's around 6.5-6.6View attachment 72666

Hey LR2! Looks like you got some good pheno action, the stubby bud bushes are a great form for the LR2s to grow in, if you could guarantee they would all grow like that, you could get a very good ratio with #s of plants : harvest weight; they are just the perfect size to cram a bunch into one place, bushes that stay within the pots boundaries for the most part, and yield around an ounce per plant from a 1-2 gal pot!

Looking stellar LR2! :clap: +REP!

Burning one down for you and your ladies right now! :smoke:
