Major pH Issues, I understand what's wrong I just can't fix it.

[18toki]

Hello CC~ This is not gonna be a big help but I just want you to know what you might already know.
I'm in US and I use supersoil.. This supersoil company claims that their soil is PH balanced (5.5 ~ 6.5). I've used 7.0 ph'ed water from the beginning and I never had any problem so far. My TAP water's ph reading is 9+ as I said..
I used 6.5 ph'ed/filtered water last week and some of my plant showed a sign of nutrient deficiency(and possible nute burn, not sure). One of my plant was 6 weeks into flowering so I had to flush anyway. I flushed it today.
I don't trust my PH meter 100% so I have a pool PH liquid test kit as backup. I use PH liquid test kit to make sure that my PH meter reading is correct. I'm gonna buy PH solution to calibrate my PH meter next time. I guess I am just lucky with this soil.. I never ph'ed water that have drained from a pot.
That's all I can say. :thumbsup:

This is my second grow, my first one went great bringing in 2oz per plant and while I was great with the pH at first towards the end I didn't screw with it 'till I had problems(which I had a few of), I just pH'd the water and feed. So here's my issue. I flushed a week before transplanting my 2 month old plants into 3gl pots and got the pH perfect at 6.5, the next week I trans planted and watered and Rating: 5

yes chrissy is right about 6.5-7.0....What do i know about growing outdoors in Transcona?Well i wouldnt do it too many people around here maybe u could find an isolated spot i dont know maybe around the factories around Day street.I wouldnt do it seems like too much hassel and if someone finds them then all that work will be for nothing.Plus their is a lot of rabbits around here too so they might eat them.I dont know?But if u have a few extra clones go ahead plant them and go back in sept and see if they survived.

Chrissy i couldnt help u out im not an outdoor grower.But with this climate i would wait till june 1 to plant but go talk to a garden guy at revy or somewhere they would be able to help u out more.But i would plant a shit load of clones because alot of them might not make it due to animals eating them.Peace

Chrissy grow hydro ive done both and hydro is alot easier and less work.Plus u get bigger yeilds.

[Chronic Chrissy]

To.go.hydro.I.would.have.to.see.a.se.up.in.real.li fe.and.have.someone.walk.me.through.their.garden.. It's.just.the.way.I.learn..Chev.a.the.hydro.shop.k nows.his.shit.so.I'll.be.stopping.in.on.him.a.the. shop.with.a.joint.and.coffee.to.chat..

Its not really that hard chrissy get a flood and drain table get a pump and timer flood the table 3-4 times a day and thats it.I bought all my hydro stuff at that hydro store they have the same 4x8 flood and drain table that i use set up in the hydro store.

Chrissy I know exactly what you mean. I am EXACTLY that way as well....just sort of telling me how to do things doesn't cut it in my book. For one thing I always have 100 questions about the part that was left out of the instructions. And I always manage to think up some thing to do that wasn't mentioned etc.....It takes me about 3 tries to get anything new done.
But you know what they say.....that's the teacher not the student. :jointsmile:
