I'm all about a better female : male ratio!! I have 9 kids in the box now, 4 are 3 weeks from seed, 5 are 2 weeks. I'd love to end up with 6 females, which would be about the right capacity for my grow box. As far as watching the Ph, I'm anal like the day is long about checking temps/relative humidity/Ph. I'm balancing all water to 7.0 and letting it sit for at least a day before using. I'm also keeping any eye on the Ph of the medium using a quick test meter that is supposed to measure - Light, moisture, NPK and Ph. 7.0 water measures at about 6.8 in the medium using the "magic test meter."

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks! Farmer Rich
Farmer Rich Reviewed by Farmer Rich on . Ph levels????? Being a first time grower, I'm still a little confused on what the Ph should be. My water, which comes from a well, is on the alkaline side with a Ph of 7.6 out of the tap. I've been adjusting down to a neutral 7.0. My question is, is this correct, or should I be going to a slightly acidic Ph, somewhere below 7.0?? Thanks!! Farmer Rich Rating: 5
