Seems to have bounced right back after yesterday’s light trimming and LST. Also I lowered the ph on my water from 6.2 to 5.8. May start the netting today.
Does anyone warm the water for any of your plants?
I use filtered water from my tap and during the cold months it comes out like 50° so I fill a few jugs right after I water for the next watering so it has a few days to get up to room temperature
I don’t have a filter for my water yet, hopefully soon. I usually leave it out for 24 hours to kind of get rid of the chlorine. Was wondering if warming the water to about 70 degrees would be beneficial.
I have the nature’s living soil mixed in the bottom 1/3 wasn’t sure if that made a difference either.
Does that filter everything out? I have pretty hard water. I can’t run it in my humidifier, was causing white dust.
I grow in living soil but I’ve never used nature’s so I don’t know much about it. I use earth dust it’s dry organic amendments in two different mixtures one you mix in your soil (same soil over and over) then you top dress twice for flower and I will not be changing nutes. This is the easiest thing I’ve ever used just put it in and water no more ph testing I water straight from that hose
I’m just worried about chlorine but it cleans the water up a little. My tap water is 7.3 - 7.6 ph and 300 ± 10 ppm and other than that little charcoal filter I don’t do anything to it, just water my plants
It looks like you powered up at the get go. Good move.
It would be nice to have a little higher RH but how much difference a few % helps, I don’t know. Now that they are in flower you should have less concern.
Lowered ph to 5.8 - you must be in coco & perlite?
Warm water - I do what @MeEasy does. After I use it I fill the containers right away (most of the time).
If you have softened water I would not recommend using the hot tap water to have warmer water. It has much higher ppm because of the salt. I will heat some on the stove or use the microwave to warm some up to add to the cold tap water if need be.
My soil was at 7 ph so i was trying to get it a little lower, I have a junk ph Meter and I think it’s off a bit. Just ordered a new one, hopefully will get it today. I don’t have a water softener so warm water shouldnt be an issue because of that. @beardless
I have 707 formula with 1/3 nature’s living soil mixed in the bottom, top is fox farms forest and ocean . So 40-50rh would be fine at this point?
Also I don’t add nutrients with that, figured it would be the easiest way.
Reads like the ingredients in my wife’s organic bread.
I just watered yesterday. Tent RH is 55%. It will decrease down to mid 40 and it will be time to water again.
Good to keep on top of ph.
Do you mean you water by watching when the ph drops to the mid 40’s?
I used to use molasses, I would start about a week before switching to flower then probably once every 2-3 weeks. But the stuff I use now has molasses in the mix
No
No just saying as less moisture is put into the tent, it returns to its normal atmospheric condition. I water bases on touch, weight, leaves.
@MeEasy does that seem like light burn? I think we discussed light placement the other day. Wondering if I should back it off a bit.
