I have no worries about my water or soil. I just want to protect the microbes. I ferment the bokashi and food scraps for a month in my garage, then dig a hole outside and compost it for a month. I have not been able to use the results to amend my indoor soil yet. I just pour the leachate on...

I think bob and scott are good guys from what i see and hear. Obviously they want to sell. I learned a lot from piggy backing off the material they mention. They gave me 6 bottles of nutrients for free. What other business does that? KNF sounds great. I have been fermenting food scraps with...

I am not worried about anything. I just want to tweek things a little bit and try to be a chemist and make this funner.

Yes sir i am an avid listener of bob and his ocgfam show.

Worms are great clue to success. thats good to hear. Just keep it simple and grow some weed.

My water is certainly near perfect and the results are incredible. I would like to raise the alkalinity to 120 ppm and see if i get better results. Making bicarbonates with carbonic acid works for me. The fertilizer i use does lower the ph and everything works out fine. I believe ph and...

About your ventilation, i am concerned your roommates might be offended by the smell. It took me awhile to adjust my venting and fix all the leaks. Just be aware. If i was you i would not get so caught up in making this a perfect run. Just record what you do and next time change only one thing...

Does that book mention something about CEC effecting the soil? This is all new to me and im all excited to learn more.

Im sorry I forgot you mentioned your ph was 8+. I would say you probably have more than enough bicarbonates and high alkalinity. Without the meter you will never be able to dial it in though. This could result in your ph drifting too high, like flexnerb just said. Oyster shell wont help this...

i cannot confirm powdered acids as the solution here. The only thing you are doing is lowering the ph and not contributing to keeping it there. The theory is that water alkalinity is the solution to keeping the soil medium in the optimal range. The oyster shell certainly helps, but how much...

I have been using carbonated water to lower the ph of my tap water. This is a safe way to do it, but it can be expensive unless you have a soda stream or beer carbonation system. My tap water is 7.8 ph and has 80 ppm of CaCO3. I am trying to raise the CaCO3 to 120 ppm.

I think you will be fine. No need to get philosophical. Just grow some weed and learn from your own experiments. i can say this though. I dont think the microbes enjoy the change in ph. If you are going to water at 6.4, then stay within range as long as possible.

Check your soil ph too

Topping should help too. I would top 2 or 3 weeks before flower. give it a shot and see what happens.

Sativas should grow twice their height. If you scrog then you shouldnt worry about the height though. I have never used 10 gallon pots. I always wish i transplanted into a bigger pot before flower.

Give it some compost tea or bokashi

It looks ready, cut the little branches off and scrog it

I got a quart or phosphoric acid and used it a couple of times

Depends on what grocery store you go. My stores carry Topo Chico, Mountain Valley, or Pelegrino. They are like $1.50 for 750mL. Not sure if you want to spend that every time you water. Ask for sparkling water.

I wouldnt use vinegar. Just use carbonated water and watch your plants respond. Or get some liquid nutrients that will lower your ph to 6.4. i use nectar for the gods brand of nutrients.
