Because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, water makes an excellent solvent, meaning that it can dissolve many different kinds of molecules.
I have never adjusted the pH water. I've always done with soil amendments.
Specifically pour nutes that are added to water. I use a fish poop 3part in flower that requires adjustment as at max pour week 4 to 7 it drops pH to around 4.2 I a gallon of water.
It isn't nutrient excess. The plant's nutrient needs have changed because it has begun to flower. So, it needs less nitrogen and more phosphorus and potassium. Amendments for flowering adjust their nutrient percentages for this reason. My recommendation is to start giving the plant more P, K, and Mg. Epsom salts would be good for increasing the Mg. Gaia Green Power Bloom is a good blooming amendment, but it does need a few days to become available to the plant.
Ah, well... Perhaps I could have worded it better. I haven't adjusted the pH of water specifically for the purpose of adjusting the pH of the soil. I do add nutrients to water for other purposes. Fish and kelp are among them.Specifically pour nutes that are added to water. I use a fish poop 3part in flower that requires adjustment as at max pour week 4 to 7 it drops pH to around 4.2 I a gallon of water.
That would hurt
Also... I usually add both Gai Green General Purpose and Power Bloom about a week before I change to the flowering light schedule. Nutrient deficiencies during and after the stretch are an often-seen problem here. The key is to be able to predict what the plant is going to need and have it available in the soil for the plant when the plant needs it.
Ill get it down eventually gonna take a few runs i start having feelings for my plants and feel bad for them i tell them im sorry i dont know what im doing shes grown on me for sure my last plant i didn't want to harvest cause i loved it to a point was with it everyday its sad my first plant poor pushpop
I named a plant Dunky after an unfortunate incident. She made it all the way to the end and it showed me how these plants strive for life just like we do. She had a lot of red hair and they sizzled as they caught fire.Ill get it down eventually gonna take a few runs i start having feelings for my plants and feel bad for them i tell them im sorry i dont know what im doing shes grown on me for sure my last plant i didn't want to harvest cause i loved it to a point was with it everyday its sad my first plant poor pushpop
Yea my last watering i used greenrush seaweed extract 100% Organic Soluble Seaweed Extract Contains macro and microelements, amino acids, vitamins, cytokinins, and auxins, which work synergistically to stimulate growth and production. It includes 16% natural potassium made from cold pressed Atlantic kelp anyways i only gave 1/8 tsp to a gallon of water to see if there's any improvement was scared to feed it to make things worse cause i dont know what it is yet but i did it anyway
Bro, you donāt need the pH and soil if itās at seven youāre way way good donāt mess with it. Leave it alone youāll be fine. Ph is for Hydro.
Dude i never tried without messing with my water done it since day one waisted probably days messing with ph and doing tests and shit
A lot of people use worm castings, but theyāre expensive. I only need the manure based compost for the microbes, the bulk of the nutrients will come from the all purpose fertilizer.
In veg i did it got pretty dry a lot of times i was thinking that too buildup right? Like calcium from like tap water evaporating from a sponge it will leave that behind after gallons of water and dry backs it could build up after a few months possibly messing with my uptake of potassium?does it even look like potassium to you
Ive watered with recharge since and i believe the gaia green has some microbes also
I don't think Gaia Green has microbes. They are necessary to make use of those nutrients, though. Their population can bloom rapidly when circumstances are favorable for them. They are a life form that can reproduce.
Gaia Green 284, also known as Power Bloom, contains beneficial microbes. It is formulated with natural nutrients and beneficial microbes to enhance flowering, fruiting, and root development. The microbes are already present in the fertilizer and contribute to long-lasting, slow-release nutrition.plus i added recharge during late veg
