heh yeah bro, I've added some malt vinegar in with todays water to try and get the PH below 7.0 :) 6.6, 6.8 I will be happy with, so I added 3-5ml of malt vinegar to approx 2 litres water+fert. :D
my PH tester shows a more orangey yellow, will be interesting to see how it affects the plants next week, I will keep adding vinegar if the PH keeps going to 7.
Peace,

Man, I've never used vinegar to lower pH... how does it make your growroom smell? Like a bud-salad? :D
Is it the Biobizz that's messing with your pH, or the water itself? I ask because my tap water is a little high (7.3-4), but my soil has a lower pH and usually brings my runoff around 6.8.
hey dude. It doesn't really make my growroom smell at all :) I am only using tiny amounts currently. I measured my soil PH (1ml cubed) to 3ml ph solution. It came as approx 7.0 , so adding some malt vinegar should move it down a few .1's at a time I hope :) 3-5ml is not a lot :)Quote:

I know my water here is hard so that probably means the PH is quite high. I tested the ph of the water and its neutral.
So yeah, will be interesting to see what the vinegar does :) It is really in small amounts to stop the PH from going over 6.8.
Edit: I possibly used tooo many smilies in this post, i guess I am just very happy right noww heeehee

Still, checkout the closeups, it's still the same nice buds, but getting bigger and better! Regardless of the leafs that are turning yellow. :D
I'm sure this is a nute problem, so I have been careful how much nutes i've been adding, i may have ended up not providing enough... will be Moving up to 3-4ml per litre again for 2 days (1,2 april) + using vinegar for PH down < 7.0 (neutral).
When i touch these buds they are so sticky you could use it like blutac, seriously, you could put your wallpaper up with this crap. But if you did I'd fucking kill ya - or ask if you'd like a free decorator heheehe
Enjoy these high resolution pics guys, skunk red hair is a truly remarkable plant.
It's worth noting we're at the beginning of week 6 flower.

looks can be deceiving, my plants look a "bit dead" - you see the pics above, look kinda crappy eh homes? well, heres some pics of the plants up close and personal. The bud formation is excellent.
PS: vinegar is helping ... last few days has been good
Peace,
