New Grower Think Different/Mi5 Greenhouse+Supplemental Light Grow (First Grow)

[Muddy]

When you add nutrients it will go even lower so without a doubt you will need to raise it. When you feed it should be in the 6.3 - 6.5 range.

Should I bother changing the ph of my spring water? It comes out at 4.1-4.2

 

[smokerjoker]

can spring water have a ph that low. sj

 

[chucknorris]

no idea but my ph pen is brand new payed about $100 for a ph and ec pen pack

si1984 Yeah I had no idea that the greenhouse would work so well a bit to well, any tips on keeping it cool?

The only thing i can think of because its a green house is an AC unit temps that high for too long will kill your girls and if it doesnt it will defo not treat them nicley. As for the ph of your water Muddy is rite soon as you add nutes it will go lower so get some PH up and Try putting it in at like 7.0-7.5 (depending what your last run off was?) see what you run off is then you can figure out what you next put it in at. Si

Yeah but cost heaps to run + low on money at the moment. It was a hot day though average temps are around 23c-26c on a nice day.
I already have some ph up and down but it doesn't seem to work, will recalibrating the ph pen change much? Ill try again and leave it for 24 hours and check.

if you can keep temps low thats better as for the ph Its a tricky thing to grasp took me 2 grows to figure it out properly. best way is just water your plants with say ph 7.0 make sure you get enougth run off to test say it comes back your runn off is 5.6 then the next time you water put it in at say 7.8/8.2 check run off again it will most likely of gone up to probs 5.9/ 6.3. If its the higher end then the next water lower it back to the 7.0 /7.2 mark i know its kind of confusing but you will get the hang of it. As for the calabration of the PH pen depends what one it is mine is just a chepo one and i do it every 2-3 wks and it changes by like 0.8 Si

 

[chucknorris]

wow didn't think calibrating would do that much 0.8 is a massive difference. What is your opinion on getting some t8 10.0 lizard lights for supplemental lighting and use the cfls to grow the cheese, might get an ounce maybe 2 off it? (Lizard lights emit lots of uv, apparently uv makes it more potent since trics are a defence against uv I think correct me if I am wrong.
