Organic AND Pro-Mix Growers: question

[blackthumbbetty]

I have a couple questions from my grow journal for you all. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated!

Right now, I’m aiming for a pH of 6.0-6.2, with the promix. Since I’m doing the organic thing, I’m also trying not to go crazy worrying about adjusting everything so it’s perfect. Promix growers: what pH do you use? I’ve gotten so many different answers from dozens of different sites, but 6.0-6.2 seems to be the best. Organic growers: how much assistance do you give medium in mitigating pH issues? Do you adjust to a certain point & then trust your soil to do its job, do you not adjust a…

Welcome to my 3rd journal on this forum! I’m starting this journal 2 weeks or so before the actual grow begins so I have a place to discuss a few details I haven’t yet finalized, and because I’m so freaking excited to get this next grow going.

The Grow: Strains: Flash Seeds’ Jamaican Berry Super Auto, Big Buddha’s Blue Cheese, Critcal Mass Collective’s Sour Melon, Fastbuds’ Blue Dream, Sweet Seeds’ Bloody Skunk, Seedsman’s S…

It’s a question that I linked back to my grow journal. I have it figured out though…I think.

I’m running Promix HP and try to keep my PH between 6.0 and 6.4.

Tomorrow I will flush Blue Cheese. What have I learned? *Do not pH my food, unless after bubbling the pH doesn’t rise on its own (per Earth Juice); if I need to raise it, go no higher than 5.0 (per experience). *When watering, adjust h20 to 5.0-5.5 or so, depending on what’s needed, to keep pH in a happy range. *Do not use ro water when using Earth Juice & Promix. *Maybe it’s not a bad idea to schedule a flush, no matter the bottled nutes used. *Don’t go crazy with the organic nutes: “won…

Actually, tweaked the method more. Now, after bubbling, adding supplements, and topping with tap water, my nute solution naturally ends up between 6.2-6.5.
