My own little jungle , 1st indoor :P

See if you can find the test kits that use the drops instead of the test strips.

You will also need pH up and down.

When you say ground water do you mean well water, water from a spring or a pond?

pH kits can be purchased from pet stores that sell fish as well. @beginner2d

Here are some examples

@bob31, you think some lime in the media will help with getting that ph stabilized some?

That explains a lot! I’ve never known why specifically Dolomite lime was so effective, just had recommended to me years ago. Ever since I add a few tbsp per gallon to my soil prior to planting. I’ve often wondered if I could get away without adjusting ph at all with it, but never really had the balls to try it.

@beginner2d I don’t follow what you are saying here? What is 6.5 and where are you measuring and getting 7 and more?

Also can you answer my question about your water?

Add another fan. You want every leaf to “dance”. If you have to, then you can remove a leaf or 2 to help with air flow.

What a grazy last days have been. I was fight with 60%RH in grow room, outside weather was 95%RH and all moisture was coming inside too. Ok i fought every way i can, moving vent, heater on/off, exhaust and income changes, nothing. and finaly bad weather end and cold front came in my city, jeej, i know this air is not so humid. Ok then i open middle door that way cold air can come in and dehumify the room where my growbox are in. And exhaust is in my grow room, thats way i get overnight 35RH. :+1: but this night is cold night and only day when my space heater can go to vacation is that cold night . Next day morning i can exaxtly see cold air trail. My luck was NORTHEN LIGHT was in trail of cold and unluckly BLUEBERRY. NL takes cold better. Ok thats that. 35RH life is just cool and im happy but today with same tehnique 2 fans on and little open middle door and only 2x600 w Leds on, there are 29°C’
I cant crack yet this equation with temp and rh. And in my growroom wery much depend what weather is outside. Ohhh.
But one AMNESIA do that after all that humidity down, temp down and temp up mess.


Yellowing overnight.
And that green /yellow mix up? Only one AMnesia.

Blueberry cold damage
