I'm all for folks pH adjusting their nutes if they want to, but since the Captain asked a direct question I thought I'd try for a direct answer.

Oh no not this again 
Look out for Em.
All I know is I ran coco for years religiously at 5.8 ph.
Since I lost everything in the fire I just ran the greenhouse oh natural this summer.
Coco and soil no idea what my ph was, literally none.
@Prescription Blend was hands down the best flowering nutrients I've used.
I fill my pot's with life , microbes and fungi.
If I ever get nutrients I will try the same thing to see if it works again.
I'm limping along until my delivery Wednesday.
Ok everyone play nice now.

I've used @Prescription Blend in soil and hydro. It always hits right at 6.3-6.5 when mixed without any pH up/down. You should probably test it at least once with your water. If it's in the right range, no need to keep testing it.

Update: Idk? What’s up with my GT she is growing fine it’s just that she has very strange leaf + limbs growth. Anyway she was feed with @Prescription Blend till runoff. I refilled my Panama’s swick res. I also refilled my CTs sip res. and there’s still no signs from my Colombian. Seeing that I have no reliable way to check the PH it wasn’t done but I’m going to order a proper one from zon. My SG is doing better after the SNS debacle but needed no water. Hey @InTheShed do I need to continue with 24/7 lights? CL
No downside to 24/0 other than the electric bill, which shouldn't be too big at this early stage of growth.
Not sure about those GT leaves (is that the last pic?) but as long as it's growing let's see if it grows out of it.

Yeah last picture is the GT and she’s growing nicely it’s just the strange looking leaves and some limbs. CL

Btw I forgot to ask you if you think I should keep my light @40% or raise it to 60%? CL
Got any way to measure lux? Photone app or a meter?

I have a IPhone so I can prolly get the app. CL

It was 165 @ the GT and 105-110 for the rest. CL
PPFD?

That’s what the app says. CL

Volumetric Water Content, tells you how much you can do a dry back, before the Salts in the media affect the PH and EC of the media. It causes salt build-up to get too high if you let your pots go past the VWC% of your soil; all media has a threshold VWC%. A perfectly controlled dry back, gets you the best result possible, as you're not going under the threshold of the media (and causing PH, and EC Fluctuation). And yes watering/feeding to run-off every time is also the best way to make sure salt build-up, etc doesn't happen.
That ofc is only something I've read; however, does make perfect sense as dry soil would have more concentrated salinity.
But yeah, I'm off of this subject, as we all have our own standpoint on it, and it's all about as futile as politics. xD
Heya CL, Sorry about last night, I was in the thick of it last night lol 2 bottles of La Marca (11%/ABV (750ML/EA)), all to myself last night, because 1. I friggin love Prosecco 2. I wanna start making my Sparkling White Wine at home (sadly can't call it prosecco, if you're not in Italy) 3. I'm gonna be going on a liquid fast soon, to try to lose a few pounds, and my precious wine isn't included. x'D
Didn't mean to sound so pushy about it, just thought I'd share with you my thoughts about it, only cause I don't like to alter the cannabis plant in any way unless it's mandatory. lol

Update: My GT was watered/fed till runoff with @Prescription Blend as was my SG and my Panama is really growing had it’s Swick res. filled. And my CT Sip res. was also filled. I still don’t know about the strange growth of my GT but hopefully it will outgrow it. Still no word on the Panama XBangi that I ordered. CL

Looks like you'll be needing an uppot on the largest one soon, the smallest one is getting burnt. Are you feeding that little one at all or is it just the ffof?Update: My GT was watered/fed till runoff with @Prescription Blend as was my SG and my Panama is really growing had it’s Swick res. filled.

If you're feeding back off a bit on her an she'll bounce right back, if it's just the soil I'd just do plain waters for now until you don't get the burnt leaves anymore.

The small one is a Sour G and it’s the one I fried with the SNS nutes thinking it was water. I’m trying to find my frickin grow bags to uppot now. CL

Update: I’m thinking about using a 1gl. plastic flower pot to uppot my GT since I can’t find the grow bags. They had Geraniums in them 2 years ago and have been empty since. CL
All my plants go from solo cups to 1 gal plastic nursery pots, then to their final grow bags.
Wash with hot water and soap first.
