From my understanding, the best PH for hydro is a slight swing, from around 5.7 to 6.2...

Mine is on 6.5 atm, been advised, I'm going to sit on a healthy 6.0

5.5 to 6.0 is fine. Just don't go over 6. You should get swings if they are eating nutes.

word...5.5-6.0 swing is the best for hydro.. if you have to pick one 5.8 is it

6.0-6.5 for soil with 6.3 being ideal

Quick question. Have a hydro system and a couple plants hand watered in soilless mix (some in promix but more recently switched to sunshine advanced). Are the plants in the soilless mix considered hydro? Was wondering both in pH levels and feeding schedule. Thanks for any advice
