I think it would be best to trim the bottom branches b/c they are dead and only killing the rest of the plant. Comments on this plan? and for trimming the branches, key me in on how to properly do so.
did'nt read this post b4 but seems now to only back up what im saying about ph.botanicare does not have ph buffers in them atleast they did'nt unless they changed and i did'nt know it.but im thinking they have'nt they have no ph buffers therefore you ph will drop out at a much faster rate on top of all that what size rez are you in? if your in a hydrofarm pot or 5 gal bucket this will only worsen the ph drop out effect. so that would be 2 or a double wammy on your ph. remember this the smaller the rez= quicker ph drop out.the bigger the rez=the longer the ph will be stable. i run in 20 gal tubs and only have to adjust ph every 7 + days with only a point or 2 drop in ph.
