Newbie Update - Veg Week 5

[RazzleDazzleCrystal]

I accidentally gave my plant too much pH Down, due to a faulty soil meter. I got a lot of help to get the pH to higher. pH was 4.98 and I found out it had nutrient lock out. Yesterday, I, guided by a pro, leached this with several gallons of spring water (7.8 pH), and took pH readings of gallons, and I saved a litre of spring water and added 1ml FF Grow Big, to feed a little after leaching. Next time I water, it will be with a dose of just all spring water. Fingers crossed, it recovers.

The soil would have buffered it a bit so no biggie

If your using synthetic nutrients you want to keep your pH between 6.3 and 7 in soil

Organic nutes don’t need you to ph the water/ soil

I believe fox farms grow maybe organic the flower isn’t but I think the grow is so that will have helped you out with the soil buffering your over ph down error

I wasn't sure if FF was organic so i researched it: "Tiger Bloom®, Grow Big® and Marine Cuisine® are examples of FoxFarm products that include synthetic ingredients....Big Bloom has "bat guano and earthworm castings to create a nutrient-rich mix that can help plants thrive." I had been feeding it strictly Grow Big.
