The biggest bestest thing in the whole world I’ve done( besides my kids) is STOPPED phing the water!!!! Lmao I capture rain water and jug it up right away. Never check it! To much fuckin stress! up this down that add this WTF. How come every where ya read ph is like if ya don’t do this this and this or your plants are gonna die!THIS!!!!!

Then I found you guys !! Lol and was quickly convinced ph is just a tool not the law !! Thank you @Aqua, @MIMedGrower@olskool it’s been a week any body ? And all the guys grows I read
Because not everyone has the same water. For example mine's 8.9 from the tap, not going to grow successfully with that in 3 gallon potsHow come every where ya read ph is like if ya don’t do this this and this or your plants are gonna die!

And mines 8.0 but only 150 ppm (.3ec). No adjustment needed.
Only the alkalinity matters. Thats what lime or oyster shell is measured into the mix for. It maintains the preset ph.
This info can be found on most nutrient websites like jacks classic. 150ppm is the standard target for water. No mention of ph except to explain why its alkalinity not ph that matters to maintain a container garden.
Pure hydro is different. No buffer so solubility is key.
Ive seen both methods produce! everyone’s grow is different!We can agree to disagree. I believe properly adjusted pH is instrumental to optimal success, even in soil and particularly in smaller pots.
@Moshmen
If those are peat pots, I would re-think them next time..I started trying Jiffy Peat Pots and couldn't keep them moist. The peat leaches the water away from the seedlings. I like rockwool better. Sterile and less chance of damping off imo.
@MoshmenIt’s funny you say that ! Ur spot on ! I’m havin trouble right now! Lol I’ve never tried rock wool but I’ll give it a shot ! Thanx @Buzzer777
I tried to tie down a couple to the air pots I’m using , this one said nope not today !
