Ya I usually take lights out pictures right after the light turns off or maybe right before the light turns on(but that gives me less time to take a good shot)
Nice nugs man those lights out shots give me a much better idea of their size and shape. They are looking quite chunky man! Any chance you could snap a close up shot of one of the nugs? Oh ya and I don't know If i asked you before but for some reason I have no idea what the wattage rating of your light is. 600w? 1000w?
I agree that a consistent PH will always provide better results even with organics. Dolomite indeed helps to buffer PH and it adds cal mag to the soil profile. However you must apply the correct amount or you can mess shit up bad.
Back when I was doing
Roots Organics tea's for the last crop I would mix up the ingredients in a bucket and aerate it with a few air stones for about 24-48 hours depending on the ratios of ingredients and then I would apply the tea when it hit 6.0-6.5. Sometimes it would raise above 6.5 and I admit(cheating) that I lowered the PH back down to 6.3 with citric acid.
The thing I love about the Roots tea's is that when you mix everything together the PH is at about 4 to maybe 5. After being bubbled for 24-48 hours the fungi and bacteria activate and multiply(more so the bacteria) and that is why the PH steadily raises. Bacteria give off alkaline slimes so increased bacterial life leads to a rise in PH where ass Fungi give off acids so increased fungal life lowers PH. Thus a balanced ratio of bacteria/fungi results in a balanced and stable PH.
So when applying a compost tea that has a PH of about 6.0 you can rest assured that it is extremely stable, and not only are you adding NPK and such your are also adding valuable microbial life to your soil biology.
