What's rated low?You can err on the low side, but I pH everything, all the time, no chances taken, even full organic. Of course, ymmv.

Bru you killing it. I'm following you closely lol. So are all the plants in the same medium?UPDATE
Day 46 for the bigger girls
The Darlin's Net's desperately need to be transplanted. They are properly root bound. Will start that process on Sunday. Sigh...
The big veg girls seem unbreakable. Feels like I could do anything to them, and they would just power on. They are really big. The plan is to cut them back tomorrow and clone.

Hey Blaze, I've been away from the forum for ages but it's really good to see your still growing some awesome plants & keepin it real. Well done bro.
I've been fine, but not ideal, in the 5.5 range, or a full point low, if applied occasionally and in organic biased medium.
A full point above, though has been different for me - I'll be able to observe adverse reactions, leaf vectoring/twisting, deficiencies and health penalties.
I'd rather be low than high.
But I aim for the middle. I have a good 20% or better coco too, so that may matter.

Thanks Justin!
All the veg girls are in the same medium. My flowering girls are still in coco/perlite being fed synth nutes.

Wow... I was actually wondering WTF happened to you just a few days ago. So... WTF did happen to you? I hope you're all good bud. You still growing my man? Check out my other journal as well, but just jump to the last few pages. I have some flowering girls in there getting close to the end.
It's really good to have you back around brother.

That's weird because these girls don't seem to like anything lower than about 6.8 and are much better able to handle higher pH, but now you make me wonder... are my observations accurate? I will keep this in mind.
I pH everything all the time with good reason.
But, I've run out of things, and made mistakes and been too high...so you see everything eventually.
I use a lot of Ca, which pushes up pH to about 7 in the medium at the beginning. 6.35 is my feeding pH target, so it will float up and cover the full range.

Thanks bud, appreciate all the help as do most of the community. My initial observation is that a soil with a higher ratio of coco seems to like the lower ph which kind of makes sense since your aiming at 5.5 when doing all coco. Would that be a wise observation or just coincidental

They looking happy this morning and another thing to note is they have greend up more than prior
If you are working with mostly organics in a soil based medium, that has been amended with coco, use soil pH.
But I don't input at 6.5, I input lower, 6.3 or at times lower as I've stated.

Interesting discussion. It's good to hear these things, so if I run into issues later it will prompt me to think in a different direction maybe and try something I wouldn't normally.

They definitely making a strong comeback Justin. I'm right in assuming you've switched to freedom farms in the transplant right? Think I read you stated that in your journal...

Hey Blaze no wonder you having such great results. I fed the clones now with water and the 1:100 ratio on the Pro soil. I fed at 7 as you do and the run off was spot on.

Sorry I took a photo but now it's buggered. Anyway ph came out at 6.5. With the other soil if I went in at 5.5 it came out at 6.8, 6.5 came out at 7.2 if not more

Nice one man. Let's see what happens over the next 2 days.
A bit stoned now... that reply took a few minutes.

I think I need to make something clear here. I'm not winging this grow. I did pH in the beginning. That's how I realised the soil doesn't like pH at 6.5 but rather at 7.0 or even a bit higher. I also know that using biobizz or products like EM-prosoil will drop the water I use to around the 7 mark... success
Things like humic and fulvic acid, I spent many hours reading about it before deciding to use it and at what dose, and also not to correct the extremely low pH it creates in solution. I firmly believe humic and fulvic acids are a miracle soil conditioner. I can't believe more people aren't raving about it. Yes, I know soil already has humates in it, but start supplementing with it and then stand back and witness the transformation. It is nothing short of spectacular.
