This is really the first time trying to train plants to do this I’m open for suggestions. My Callie seems to be a little stringy any suggestions

If your in soil you want a 6.5 ph not 5.5 to 6.

My first go-around with indoor I did run my pH of 6. 6.5 and got into some possibly nutrient lock were some of the guys like Marine told me to come back a little bit on my pH on the water. And I really salvaged my first grow by doing that. I have read were a lot of Growers will fluctuate their pH throughout the grow from 5.5up to possibly floating at high 6s.
I don’t have the meters to do anything like that but what are your thoughts?
It is good to drift the ph. If between 6.3 and 6.8 in soil.

Get a apera ph20, cheap, effective and widely used.

I try to stay around 6.3, but settle for up to 6.8 if I’m having issues balancing it out.
Edit: I would recommend a decent meter for your pH and PPm’s. Numbers in are pretty important. If you start having issues like spots, or fast yellowing, then runoff is important. I mean it kind of is either way, so you know if your plant is hungry or something, but not as important as in.

Looking good Bro, Keep doing what your doing, watch as the nodes on the “Stringy” branches turn upward and fill that center in. Everyone develops their own style, keep on keeping on.
About the PH issues, were you watering to runoff? If not do so 10%ish at least. Also keep in mind to test that runoff periodically.
Peat over time becomes slowly more acidic as it decomposes, so using some microbes to create some level of balance is a good idea.

I want to apologize i do have a ph meter
What i want is a meter that read everything from ph to ppm.
Nutrients is the next discipline I really want to work on. This is my second year growing indoor. And I wanted use as much organic as possible and being able to be smart enough to help cultural microbials. I have just built 2 worm farms (thanks uncle jim) and want to try to incorporate that next spring into some of my indoor soil.
