Seems pretty high but what do you think of the plant so far? my lowest threshold for pH is 5.6 and my highest threshold is 6.4. I do not like to go any lower due to metals absorption. I would rather have less metals in my flower than to have high metals absorbed and big buds. I’d rather have smaller quantities but know that I and somewhat safe. Just my thoughts and opinion.
I'm right there with you. Go with what works. I have not studied metal absorption so I don't know.
I think it is important to know where we grow (soil types and where the soil came from whether it be indoor or outdoor), water quality, what you are feeding the cannabis/hemp plant, they are absorbing machines, particularly soil growing, heavy metals can be absorbed with too low of a ph or too high of a ph so I think all growers should stay aware of the potential toxicity of certain soils, water quality, and fertilizer quality to make sure we all don’t get exposed to high amounts of lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, etc and all those other toxic substances because these cannabis plants will in fact take what is in the medium, water and nutrients regardless. They are sponges.
I like the ph bouncing in the range of 6.4-5.6 I feel like the plant gets various forms of good nutrients when that happens.
26th day of flower
6 weeks ago you were running your ppms at 550 and now you're at 450.
Thanks! I’m still learning. I’m actually tempted to bring the ppms a little higher depending on what the plant does with the current 450ppm because she’s gaining mass now and I plan on defoliating some fan leaves soon.
I can add enzymes, ph down and up, to my current nutrient solution, and increase the ppms from 250 to 700 and the plants would eat it the same. Hell I prolly wouldn't even notice ppm fluctuation... That said, ppm swings is all you really need to pay attention to. The plant will tell you if it needs more water or food. The numbers we set it at are more for us to communicate with others lol.. They mean nothing to the plant.
Show us this to be true!
When these 6 are transplanted I'll do one like this for ya. Only reason I say is because my ph up adds alot of ppm, same with my enzymes... Which is why I havnt added enzymes to my current grow.
Please don’t commingle pics on this thread I’d like to keep it uniform, respectfully. Thanks.
Sorry, never knew this was just a picture show of your grow
No worries mate
