Just remember this was a test. I don't wanna come across as advocating for or against.

I like to change up each grow a little at a time Just to test ideas.

The results are just that results.
Whether good or bad it helps people make decisions.

I threw my ph meter out 10 years ago and never looked back

Even if I ran a medium that I didn't need to ph check, I still would. I'd rather potentially catch an issue early, rather than after its visibly noticeable. .....Kinda like wearing a seatbelt...you don't have to wear one to drive a car, or reach your destination, but if you ever need one you'll be glad you had it on.

but correct me if im wrong, but aint that what the lime does? Raise the ph of the soil so that it buffers highs/lows? And even if it moves it into an acceptable range, could it of still been even better ph range gotten even better results?

Yanno, I had this same talk with a buddy that doesn't ph because he's got it in an "acceptable zone". His argument was he grows nice healthy flowers without the fuss.

My argument was if you look at a nutrient chart and a ph chart there are SPECIFIC ranges as to which nutrients gets taken in at...so if your acceptable range is 5.8- 7.0 yet you're consistently at 6.8 you're missing quite a bit of beneficial nutrients.

I guess at the end of the day, if I'm investing my time, and money I wanna know they are given the best opportunity to grow and finish the best they can, or else why do it at all?

So no knock on anyone who doesn't ph, I commend you.

I think the amount of lime i use helps to maintain the correct ph though out the grow. From personal experience adjusting the PH has caused more problems than it has solved.

Little tip is to use sandwich size ziplok bags as humidity domes for those solo cups. They let a little air in around the edges but keep the humidity in. The best advice I can give you now is k.i.s.s don't try to do every method and technique you've read about all at once or you will end up here

As much as you want to do something or open the tent a million times right now from excitement, do .....nothing. That's right, less is more right now. They have soil, they have water. They just need time. Its really going to be hard to not mess with them but you will be rewarded for being lazy right now haha. Ask @EventHorizan how many times he had to tell me to leave my plants alone before I listened

Hahaha! Excellent advice which I didn't follow!! Definitely did something like that :D
