pH/FloraNova Questions
Well, I realized it was a waste of money, as well as ignorant on my behalf to buy spring water at a time, for fear of messing with the pH of my own tap water which is very alkaline. Well, I realized it would be easier, and cheaper to just buy the GH Control Kit, that comes with a pH tester and pH up and down and just adjust my own water.
I'm also going to be using GH FloraNova Grow and FloraNova Bloom. This is the feeding schedule I will be following: http://genhydro.com/genhydro_US/feed...ainToWaste.pdf
While that tells me how much I need to add per gallon of water for each particular stage, it doesn't tell me how frequently I should apply. I plan on not feeding them the seedling stage, but feeding them the early growth formula around 2-3 weeks of age. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with FloraNova Grow and Bloom for soil applications, and if they can tell me their feeding schedule. For instance, should I feed every third irrigation, or every other, etc...?
I plan on using a 1 gallon water jug, and filling it up with tap water, and then adding the correct amount of nutrients. Then, I would take a sample, and check the pH. Would I then simply add drops of pH down or up, whichever is needed, and then shake, and then water my plants? Or do I have to wait or something, after adjusting my pH.
I'm also wondering what the correct pH should be for my mixture, because on the bottle it says to maintain a pH of 5.0-6.5 but I assume that's for hydroponic use. What pH should I have it for soil use?
BTW, the soil I am using is Miracle Grow Organic mixed with Perlite 70/30. I was going to use Hyponex instead of the MGO but read that Hyponex is shit.
Peace,
