@Captspaulding Another cut of the cali blues freak pheno in the wild she’s fair sized still in full veg no pistils yet but I think she’s close, I topped this plant for him twice since it’s been in the ground her color is dead on to the mother

I’m giving synthetics and organics and he’s doing KNF

She’s a good 4’ wide 4’ tall

Something about spring water and it being 6.6 ph. I mixed some up tap with r.o. I wasn’t going to buy that expensive stuff.

Oh thats just purified RO water I can get a 32 pack of at the local private grocer for $2.79 cents that comes out the bottle at 6.6 and 16ppm


It takes me all day to make up about 5 gallons from the RO filter.


For my particular use case scenario, that's preferable, at least while I'm still under a gallon a day of feed water lmao, and I already buy a couple cases of that water weekly anyway. I definitely .

If I give my water out of the faucet to container plants it will kill them after several waterings. I'll end up with calcium and potassium buildup that will alkalize the soil and burn my plants

For my particular use case scenario, that's preferable, at least while I'm still under a gallon a day of feed water lmao, and I already buy a couple cases of that water weekly anyway. I definitely wouldn't call it expensive. $50 per RO membrane that only lasts about 90days here. That's expensive

And I'm not trying to be an asshat or a contrarian, but you can try to stick to the "pH meters are useless" statements all ya want lol. It's just that is not true no matter how hard you want it to be. You won't always need them, most grows, especially in a super soil, you'll never need them at all. I've gone months on months without busting one out before. But they are very valuable as troubleshooting tools. Especially when plants look like that one does lol. That's a fact. A pH meter testing the drainage on that plant is 100% beyond a shadow of any doubt how you determine what that problem is. If your drainage pH is fine you need to top dress in some quickly available calcium and magnesium. If the drainage pH is below 5.5 in super soil, you need to buffer your soil up, that PH range stifles the development of beneficial fungi and bacteria, and beneficially impacts the production of unwanted molds and anaerobic bacteria specifically. If you put your strains of beneficial bacteria or fungi to culture on agar in a petri dish below 5.5 pH and incubate it next to one with some anaerobes and predatory cobweb molds in it you can watch the results with your own eyes in real time if you want to lol. There is a reason why biologists fear anaerobic sulfide blooms from the ocean as it swings more acidic through pollution.

And those $8 yellow meters everyone tries to use because they want to save a buck or they're included in a kit? Yea those def make better table leg shims then PH measurement devices. Also a fact lmao.

I went the other way threw the pens out and said fuck PH I’ll never go back haha

I got this feeling I'll be watching PB1 grow on into November lol

 

[Thatoneguyyouknow_]

I went the other way threw the pens out and said fuck PH I’ll never go back haha

Like I said if I give plants my water straight out of the faucet it will kill them, if I give them the straight RO water that comes out of the filter at about 5 pH.

It will also kill them


Not that I'm used to the way I'm running my water though I only bust the meter out if it seems like there's a problem in one of the root zones.

Because it is 100% completely totally out of the realm of possibility..... completely and totally impossible to tell the difference between a calcium and magnesium lockout and a calcium and magnesium deficiency without a pH meter and that is 100% a fact. Lol. Period. It isn't possible.

Almost every single beginner grower on this site has at least one plant that's locking out calcium and magnesium or hugely deficient in it one lol. And all these beginners are also saying Cal mag and PH meters are useless

And unfortunately they will never ever know unless they test the drainage with an accurate pH meter, and will continue believing that those plants just have something wrong with them, instead of, ya know, rolling with objective reality lol.

If you're bottle feeding, organic or synthetic, and not using tap water filled with ph stabilizers from the treatment plants, or growing in hydro, or hell, 9/10 indoor growing methods, which are way more common with beginners, keeping your pH where it needs to be is actually the single most important part of growing cannabis indoors in a container. Another fact lol. If you actually mix something like Fox farm trio or GH Flora as per the directions into ro or distilled water, like 9/10 new growers do, your pH will sit between four and five and you will kill plants in 2 waterings flat.

Personally I've already set straight about a half a dozen brand new growers who got horrible pH advice that we're using bottle nutrients in Cocoa. Growers whos plants would be dead following the advice of the living soil growers on this forum lol

The consensus on plants that were dying from pH lockout bottle fed ain coco, across the board here, was that it's light burn I've taken it as my responsibility personally to private message these growers getting this terrible advice and setting them straight and so far I haven't had a single failure in doing so either. Does it growers who would have quit being convinced they're idiots by the community lmao.


People will literally pop in now to a thread from a newbie grower using GH flora nova in Coco, and tell them it's light burn PH meters are useless that's not just bad advice it's guaranteed to kill people's plants lol

If you would have deposited $10,000 in a savings account on 1/1/2021 and bought $10,000 worth of Bitcoin on the exact same day, your checking account would be worth $8,600 and your Bitcoin would be worth $22,800 today.
