ph question

[Closet Grower]

Thanks folks for the advice. I shall let it stay at 5.6 and ignore what the manufacturers say, the plant is looking good

Let the plant dictate what it wants I grow in Perlite and water by hand .. and I use a PH of 6 ,, works for me and my plants

Here's some pics of plant and grow cupboard U4R1K

The medium is coco + perlite with coco nutes. Lighting 2 x 45w cfl 6400K + 90w LED red 670nm, blue 440nm.

Nutes under the cardboard cover get pumped round twice per day.

I've lost track of time, think I put the seed in about a month ago, its just beginning to smell and grow upwards.

Pics of plant have a coin in them for scale - leaves are huge

Cheers

i havent read what everyone else has said so im not sure if its already been asked, but have you calibrated your ph meter? when i got mine from ebay it was around .5-.8 off so i just went out and got the calibration fluid.

could explain why your ph reading might be off...

U4r1k: the strain is White Skunk from PS; the 10 seeds were all different sizes and colour but I don't recall which one this was. Yes the leaves are really big and the foliage very thick. I've just switched to 12/12 so I'm keen to see how the buds are gonna look. I'm using a LED light with cfl instead of HPS, I don't know if this is affecting the leaf size.

 

Crunchy: I think you may be right, its a brand new meter from ebay and I haven't calibrated it so I shall get some calibration fluid and give it a try. Thank goodness I checked with you guys before upping the ph else I could have gotten a very sick plant.

Hi...Ive just had a shit load to trouble with my ph meter and probe..all i can say is calibrate it weekly and use both 7ph buffer and 4ph buffer...if your meter wont go down to 4..its buggered, i found out the hard way
